Today after a slow start, Nani and I headed out for a walking tour of Rosario. Her apartment really is located in a nice area of the city. We walked in a park along the waterfront to the Monumento Bandera. The monument houses the tomb of Manuel Belgrano who designed and created the first Argentinian flag. The massive monument also houses the Argentine tomb of the unknown soldier.
We strolled through an outdoor crafts market and walked past the old Aduana building. Rosario is a port city and the old customs house was very similar to the one in Buenos Aires. We crossed through the city and ended up on the opposite side of the Bandera Monument near the Cathedral of Rosario. The Cathedral was constructed at the end of the 19th century and is across from Rosario's Plaza de Mayo.
After a walk around a local park, we returned to the apartment for an afternoon tea and chat. Classes start tomorrow, so I need to review some of my more advanced Spanish grammar. Hopefully, I won't forget my French!
