Walking along Cordoba and the Parana

Hola! I have been in Argentina for four or five days and am having a very good time. The first day was pretty rough, but each day since seems to be getting a little better. Yesterday the group went to Cordoba Street to walk around a shopping district with tons of little shops and cafes. We then walked down towards the Parana River where there are numerous parks and the National Flag Monument. The Argentine flag was created in Rosario, something that the people here hold much pride in. The monument is pretty cool, I will post a picture of it. I returned home and had an afternoon snack with my host mom. The snack consisted of cafe con leche (coffee with milk), tostados toast), galletas (cookies), and dulce de leche (similar to caramel, but better). Then I went for another walk with my host mom. We walked through the many parks along the river. There were thousands of people running, walking, playing sports, and grilling. Overall, I am having a very good time in Rosario. It is definitely different than the United States, and I have plenty more to write about!
