Argentina Travel Blogs

Background: Following independence from Spain in 1816, Argentina experienced periods of internal political conflict between conservatives and liberals and between civilian and military factions. After World War II, a long period of Peronist authoritarian rule and interference in subsequent governments was followed by a military junta that took power in 1976. Democracy returned in 1983, and numerous elections since then have underscored Argentina's progress in democratic consolidation.

Santa Fe 1050
Santa Fe 1050
I 1956 var Janes morfar paa restaurant i Santa Fe 1050, men dessverre fikk vi ikke gjort det samme naa i 2008 - siden stedet er gjort om til et parkeringsanlegg.
Dag 98. Vi maatte sjekke ut av rommet innen kl. 11, saa vi hadde mange timer "aa slaa ihjel" for bussen skulle gaa. Vi fikk oppbevare sekkene paa B&B. Det er alltid slik de dagene vi skal reise videre til et nytt sted - at vi mentalt allerede er paa vei. Da blir det paa en maate som om vi gaar og venter paa aa kunne komme oss videre. I dag gikk vi tur langs elven, og satte oss paa en benk for aa spise lunsj. Vi spiste brod og paalegg som vi hadde kjopt paa butikken. Vi hadde flott utsikt [View Full Entry]

Santa Fe 1050 - 2
Jane hos frisoren i Rosario

Hola Amigos, It´s been great to hear from everyone. I´ll try to keep the pictures coming but uploading takes a LONG, long time. So this is what you get today. Explored San Telmo a couple days ago. It was pretty nice - somehow it felt like home to me. Lots of creaky old buildings and artsy things for sale. The DIY kids are in full force down there. San Telmo is known for tango shows and there are lots of hostels down there. It´s very tourist friendly and yes, again someone asked me for directions. Happened to get sucked in by [View Full Entry]

Che var fodt i Rosario i 1928, og bodde sine 2 forste barndomsaar der.
Dag 97. Etter frokost (paa rommet) gikk vi til bussterminalen for aa se om de hadde bussbilletter til Montevideo i Uruguay i morgen. Vi provde hos 2 ulike busselskaper - men de hadde ikke avgang for paa sondag. Vi ble henvist til billettluken til Andesmar Uruguay. Der var det tomt - med en lapp paa skranken om at de var tilbake om noen minutter. Vi ventet. Noen minutter ble til nesten en time for det dukket opp noen. Det gikk buss imorgen kl. 23.50, saa vi kjopte billetter til den turen (175 pesos pr. pers.) Turen skal ta 10 timer. Saa [View Full Entry]

Hola Chica´s y Chico´s Another instalment that you have been eagerly awaiting from the Shanny & Stevie roadshow. After a fantastic time spent in Buenos Aires, we jumped on a full cama bus to Mendoza. Full Cama, means Full Bed. Big squashy chairs that recline totally and foot rest to match coming up to meet you. Bliss....the food is a bit hit and miss though, so suggest to anyone wanting to try these trips to bring your own snacks....more on that to follow later. Mendoza is a sleepy wee city situated about 30 kms away from the foothills of the Andes. [View Full Entry]

Cappuchino´s Catedral
Cappuchino´s Catedral
Cathedral in Nuevo Cordoba, Argentina
A little Cordoba information: Córdoba, considered Argentina´s cultural capital and home to most of it´s universities is a bustling city. It´s central location between the mountains, rivers and only about 700 km from Buenos Aires create an interesting city dynamic. It was one of the first Spanish capitals and home to large Jesuit communities. The Jesuit Block (Manzana Jesuítica), a UNESCO site has buildings from the 17th century. A university is housed in these beautiful colonial buildings in the center of the city. The city center is very busy with loads of banks, including CitiBank [View Full Entry]

Dag 96. Ahh, har hatt en herlig natts sovn. Sengen var helt topp! Frokosten ble servert paa rommet; kaffe/te, ferskpresset appelsinjuice, toast og syltetoy. Vi gikk paa formiddagen lang tur oppover elven Rio Parana, mot det moderne kaianlegget som ligger like for broen. Byen strekker seg 20 km. langs elven. Det virker som om det er mye baattrafikk paa elven ut fra det vi har sett. Vi snudde og gikk tilbake til sentrum, for vi gikk ned til Monumento de la Bandera. Monumentet ble ferdigstilt i 1957, og staar paa det stedet hvor det argentinske flagget ble heist for forste gang. [View Full Entry]

So this weekend was another wonderful time of lack of sleep and lots of fun!!! Saturday I went and did some shopping with a couple of other girls from the states and bought some of the stuff i was wishing i had with me :-) and now i have it! Then I was supposed to meet my friend at an art show in the park, but she ended up getting sick so I went solo which was quite the adventure...safe, no worries, but still adventurous! There was lots of cool stuff...it was kinda multi cultural so they had people from Peru [View Full Entry]
