We had a great day with Rodolfo my good friend
from Buenos Aires.
First we drove up the coast, along the La
Plata river to a river city called Tigre, through San Isidro and San Fernando.
A quick walk around the Mercado de Frutas,
where all fruit and vegetables, grown up-river, are sold.
This is also a very nice tourist spot with
artisans and handcraft stores ... totally packet on sunny weekends.
        From Tigre we boarded a riverboat bus, which
took us along the channels to a top class "Parilla" - Argentinian barbecue
house!
It was a marvelous day, topped with a 1kg
charcoal barbecued steak. See the fork as a reference on the picture.
              The MONSTER
steak
And we all had one each ......
On the best Argentinian style another friend
of mine – Martin - joined us with his fast powerboat for lunch and special
return ride.
We cruised up the river by all fancy Yacht
clubs until we found Nemo - another Swedish Adventurer, moored at yacht Club
Barlavento.
We have been meeting along the coast down from Brasil since last X-mas. Lars off course was full set on swedish as a reveange to our constant spanisg conversations over the last weeks.     Valet

The evening was topped with drinks at
Recoleta, a bohemian traditional neighbourhood in BA which surronds the oldest
cemitery, where Peron and his wife Evita are buried.

Bob the blog arrived this morning at around 7,

sail, I guess .....
Off course first thing was a cold beer ......  “bob the blog” is back! And

One beer is not enough
