Rosario..............finally some warm temperatures

Rosario is four hours northeast of Buenos Aires.....it is inland and the temperatures were finally SUMMERY! We didn~t book a place here and wandered the town for about an hour with our backpacks in the heat, getting turned away from two hostels before a receptionist at the second hostel phoned everyone in town, and finally we checked into '' LA COMUNIdad''.

Highlights of Rosario:
1. Thunderstorm in the morning
2. Hailstorm in the afternoon
3. Sunburns/tans between the thunderstorm in the morning and the hailstorm in the afternoon. We went to the beach on an island. We had to take a ferry. It was really cool that there was beach sand on this river.
4. Met a plastic surgeon from Buenos Aires (note: BA is a hot spot for plastic surgery and beautiful people.....I think I read that Argentina has the third largest rate of people (%!p(MISSING)opulation) getting plastic surgery....after the United States and Mexico.)
5. Pizza Restaurant that served Chloe´s ceasar salad in a cube.

We only stayed in Rosario for one night....................then off to Montevideo, Uruguay via a 9 hour bus.

Hail Storm Approaches
It was a serious storm, and we were on a boat crossing the river when it happened. The boat had a roof, so there was no need to hire the plastic surgeon after the facial/eye injuries that the hail could have caused.
Note...........safe boaters should try to ensure they do not boat in hail storms or other storms.
