Today we arrived back from Iguazu at around 9:00 am and went to the apartment to clean up and unpack a bit. Then Chad was so enjoying not being on a bus that we stayed in the apartment for awhile. Then we decided to go see another ferria in Palermo. It ended up being quite small but I got Harry Potter in Spanish to read. We were supposed to be having dinner with a friend of Chad´s but they cancelled so we were trying to decide what to do. We originally intended to go to a town called Tigre on the Rio de la Plata delta but were going to have to get back for the dinner, but no dinner plans and not much else to do we caught a train and headed north.
Tigre is so cute and was so fun. First we went to an amusement park. I thought it was going to be really cheesy because it was a small town but it was so fun. Cheap too. Like 12 bucks per person. They had roller coasters and are apparently the only place in Argentina to have them. There were only 2, but we rode them and the Ferris Wheel. Because we went up so late in the day we knew we would be pressed for time so we headed out to town to find a boat to ride along the Rio de la Plata. It was very touristy but was fun and so interesting to see the little cottages along the river. We rode in the boat for an hour and then we went to the other side of town where the other train was because we were going to ride the other train back. We were very hungry by then so we searched for food. There was a really cute McDonalds with bistro tables outside along a park the followed the water but further on we saw a nicer restaurant and wen there. Once there we were originally greeted by 2 waitresses who told us to sit wherever. Once seated we could not get service. When we finally did, they were quite surly waitresses who after being seated for about 15-20 minutes, still had not brought us our drinks. Needless to say that wasn´t working so we left and just hopped on the train. It was about 10pm when we finally got back to our apartment. We had been wanting to try a restaurant that was right across the street and so we finally went in to try it. (It was good timing since people here eat dinner at about 10pm) The dinner was incredible. I couldn´t get over how good everthing was. Yummy! It just topped off another really fun day.

So do you think the stuffy waitress didn't want to serve you because she could tell you were American? How long was the train ride, I'll bet you were starving.
No it was because they were lazy, no more. We kinda wished we had just gone to that cool McDonalds, but we were really glad we got to eat at that nice restaurant near our apartment.
The train ride was maybe about an hour, plus a 15 minute subway ride. It all cost us about 4 pesos $1.30 US to get both of us all the way from Tigre (the end of the line) to downtown!
We were very tired and very hungry and I was pretty grumpy, until the awesome food at La Payuca. See www.lapayuca.com.
