Mar de Plata

Holá, I'm back !

Well, along with the growing number of my english speaking readers (or not) I'm going to start writing in this blog in English. Yes Sir. 
So we went, along with my three english friends. No, no pictures. OK, picture, but only the feet (I don't want any issue with anybody) :

We had a very nice trip, quite rainy at the beginning (BsAs has been striken by a slight storm a few minutes after our leav), but quickly, I retrieved the indescriptible charm of the roads surrounding BsAs. Valleys, cattle, blue sky, and air conditioning. 







So... what can I say about this Argentinian Côte d'Azur ? First, I don't know if it's really the equivalent. I don't think so. I hope not, to be honest : overcrowded, dirty, noisy. The only quiet place of this area is the sea : it seems that the 18°C (... 65°F ?) keeps most of the tourists away. 

 Buildings, palmtrees, blue sky. Mmh, I've already seen this somewhere...

 ... and cars, of course.

 ... the sea !!!

 Mmh, still looks nice, eh ?

 ... oh, nooo !

  
... oooooh yes. 

 Thanks, Fitz Roy !

As a conclusion, I'll remember this place as an ideal place for anybody who's looking for a violent sunbathing, a high risk of getting robbed (hopefully, the only thing I was carrying was my index 60 sun block, so, no worries). Quite a nice "shopping" area with pedestrian streets around. Well, doesn't deserve 160Ar$ anyway ! 

The most self explaining picture, to my humble opinion : 
Crowd, food, people, umbrellas, people, concrete, and crowd.

Next destination : Puerto Madryn. Seafauna and seafood. Let's get involved !
