Travels in Argentina - Rosario

We went to this city (either the 2nd or 3rd biggest in Argentina) about 4 hours outside of Buenos Aires because a friend told us he loved it there. I´m not sure why. There was nothing really spectacular about it, just another city that´s seen better days. Claims to fame: birthplace of the Argentina flag and Che Guevara.

Monument to Manuel Belgrano, creator of the flag





He´s buried underneath this monument



You can ride the elevator to the top and have a nice view of the city for about $1



Aerial view of a monument of the Molvinas (Falkland Islands). Argentina and England have been fighting on and off about them for years, as they are off the coast of Argentina but have been a British colony forever.



One of the statues on the monument to Belgrano, he represents the Rio Paraná, one of the borders of the city.



Another great statue



We went tromping through the rain to take of photo of Che´s birthplace, it was somewhat of a let down, I don´t know if you can even see the very small red marker, I missed it at first.
