1st stop Rosario

1st stop Rosario: second biggest town in Argentina, lounging along the River Parana', it serves up a heap of tasty empanadas. When ordering empanadas, the are served with specific borders to distinguish between the types (i.e. carne suave, carne picante, humita, etc). Diego and I spent four full days in Rosario and visited two museums, one post modern minimalist in a cool pastel building, and then the Museo Castagnino, where lots of rad Argentine painters are featured such as Berni and Leon Ferrari. The nights lit up with Diego's cousin Andres who took us to "Madam", an 80's boliche disco club, and "Dixon", a salsa / cumbia villera club.
Saturday in Rosario was spent enjoying an asado with family and friends. Diego made the big engagement announcement but they already knew because of a leak via Lisa, a cousin living in Andorra). Later that evening, we went to Teatro El Circulo and saw Mayumana, an Israeli dance troupe who performed a wild mix of percussion with their bodies and dance with objects and sounds. We stayed at Andres's apartment, not far from the two pedestrian streets: Cordoba and San Martin -- and also very close to the neighborhood club: Luna.
