After checking into our hostel we went straight out for a walk down the pedestrianised central street down to the river for a walk and meal.

We did our research from a Lonely Planet guidebook that was five years old oops and it seems Argentina is not as affordable as it was. Prices have at least tripled and in some cases are up to 10 times as much as wed expected.

For the past 3 and a half months Ive been working as an English teaching assistant in a university in Santa Fe Argentina.The work has been fun. I assist in english classes with students aged 18 and above. They have a good level of English so I concentrate on conversation http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Santa-Fe/Santa-Fe/blog-510837.html A couple weeks into the Copa Mundial World Cup and Im finally getting around to writing about it. So far Ive watched nearly every game in a caf bar bakery grocery store you name it. I wont go into details on who I think is doing well or bad other than saying I think this is the worst year England has ever seen. I mean tying the Americans and Algeria What happened The A http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Santa-Fe/Rosario/blog-508788.html Any expacts out there living in Rosario Sorry for being so short I'm new to the blog and I will start publishing stories in the near future. Feel free to drop your comments http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Santa-Fe/Rosario/blog-504726.html When I first got to Argentina I didn't really have plans to go to Rosario. Not that I wasn't interested but the guidebooks seem to skip over Rosario and I didn't meet many other backpackers that were heading that way. However in Patagonia I met two different hostel workers that both insisted I go see Rosario where they were originally from. Then in Ushuaia I was sharing a room with a g http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Santa-Fe/Rosario/blog-502457.html Escapada bicentenaria http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Santa-Fe/Rosario/blog-501820.html Having finished in Buenos Aires for now my plan was to follow the Paran River northwards to the Paraguayan border. The Paran meets the Uruguay river to form the River Plate just outside Buenos Aires and is in fact the second longest in South America with one of the largest basins in the world. The first stop 4 hours by bus from Buenos Aires was Argentinas third city Rosario.

This was nothing like I have ever experienced before in my life. Though I was somewhat sad that my first football game couldn't be a Wolverhampton Wanderers game or a Seattle Sounders game there really couldn't be any other better place to experience my first game and it sure did not disappoint. One thing that really http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Santa-Fe/Rosario/blog-496662.html Finally my first excursion outside of Rosario. I woke up at 600 AM to get ready to catch my 800 AM nonstop bus to Santa Fe. Once I got to the bus terminal I found where my bus would be departing from after some confusion between my seat number and the platform number. After that was figured out I was instructed that my seat was on the second level of the bus it was a doubledecker and af http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Santa-Fe/Rosario/blog-490813.html As I hope Most of you know I am currently staying in the city of Rosario Provence of Santa Fe Argentina.

I had seen the cathedral before and loved the building though I had never been inside before. So I took the opportunity to step inside while they had their doors open for Easter. Once inside I was even more impressed by the b http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Santa-Fe/Rosario/blog-487928.html
