El Tigre...not the tiger




El Tigre is a town in Argentina were everything is on the water just about! El Tigre is situated on the Paraná Delta. The neighborhoods are located on islands in the Delta. Early in the morning, we took the train in Belgrano to take all the way to Tigre. Once we arrived, the plan was to go rowing! I haven't done this since my times in Boy Scouts. We rowed with Club Nahuel.Our row boat had a few issues with rowing together hahah but its all good! And rowed or in spanish (remar) to el museo de Sarmiento. Next, we took a colectivo but on water!!! It's called Lancha-colectivo.

Going through neighborhoods on the water bus, one can notice something interesting....
No... not that we are riding a water bus

No... not that people's houses are on islands

No... not that you don't see anything cars

Sí...You can notice that everyone's house has a name... not really an address.

The house we were going to for lunch and relaxing by the river is called El Pato!
This family graciously made us
el almuerzo y la pasteles!!!

We spent the rest of the day relaxing and exploring en El Pato :^)
Luck for us, it was suppose to rain and it turned out to be a beautiful day!
