This blog is a first of many steps to keep track of the many adventures ahead. I started this blog my freshman year of college only for a English assignment, but I've come back to it because I will soon be off on my travel abroad to Argentina. I will make use of this blog hopefully to keep friends, family, and others up-to-date on this exciting chapter in the life of Jameson.

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!
