Mar del Plata

The second stop on our trip was in Bahia Blanca. We won't say much about it because we were there for less than 24 hours. But...interesting fact...we stayed in Manu Ginobili's hotel (he is from Bahia Blanca).

The third, and final, stop on this contract was in Mar del Plata, a major resort destination for Porteños (residents of Buenos Aires). We stayed in a great location with another oceanview...we can get used to this! To follow in our normal obsession with bathrooms...check out the view from the shower!

We have walked a lot while in Argentina...which is great with all the cheese and bread we have been eating! The following are pictures from one of our after-lunch strolls:

A typical Mar del Plata beach home.

A regular sight in the cities are stray dogs, which doesn't seem to bother anyone. In general, Argentines seem to be dog-lovers. This one followed us for about a mile. We were sad that we couldn't clean him up and take him home. (I think Sarah's frown looks more like she just tasted some bitter beer...what do you think?)

The Budweiser of Argentina (sign right outside of our hotel).

A Shipyard.

Fishing Boats. The colors were so beautiful in person.
