Mar del Plata

The beach was divided into semicircular sections by the rocks pictured above. The sand is the type of sand that has shells and is not as fine as the sand at Gulf of Mexico beaches. The water was pretty rough that weekend and freezing cold but locals had no problem frolicking in it. On Saturday, the beach gets crowded but not until the afternoon. All in all, it was a great city and we seemed to be more of a novelty there than in Buenos Aires. For this reason and the fact that it's a smaller city, people were more warm and friendly. I would recommend it but be sure to bring your brazilian cut bikini bottoms because I was definitely in the minority without one (and keep your top on). Boys can leave the speedos at home, I only saw one the whole time.

We went to a seafood restaurant out by the port and I think we accidentally ordered a dessert wine because it was sickeningly sweet.






Sunday was a rainy day so we went to the arcade. I kicked some five year olds off this Humpty Dumpty game. James was embarrassed to play at first and by the end he said it was his favorite

We finally had enough tickets for me to get a pack of Chewy Runts and it only cost $29 pesos to get there.
