Swimming in the river and looking for little Che...

---

It is our last day in Cordoba and it is about time to leave Cordoba and our seedy hostel room... Hopefully, our next room is a bit nicer and the owner a bit more reserved. The people were nice, but a bit too much with all their questions and trying to organise 'day trips' with us. Anyway, we had a great time swimming in the river as we haven´t done this before. The water is deep enough to swimm and jump into the river and there is a lovely sandy beach. We were lazy and didn't bother to walk to get to a more secluded area and just stopped after 5 minutes. It was really hot and although I was using suncream and stayed in the shadow, I managed to get burnt and now I am red as a lobster! Therefore, no swimming on the next day and we decided to check out Alta Gracia, which sounded like a nice village with characteristic houses. For being honest, we were not impressed and the Jesuit Estancia was not as nice as in Jesus Maria. However, you can visit the house where Che Guëvara lived as a child for 11 years. It was interesting to see as the house is spacious with the nicest toilet we have seen in Argentina. We didn´t know about Che growing about in this area and it is a real coincidence that we are moving to Rosario - his place of birth - tomorrow.

Hey guys, glad to hear you survived the border crossing. Things have been chilly here this week with an inch of snow covering everything when we woke up on Tuesday. London looked very pretty all white, however it was back to being grey again after it all melted by the afternoon! We're jealous of the sun! Booked our tix home this weekend...so we are heading home to catch some rays at the end of Feb. Happy travelling- k and g
