TIGRE

Aug 31
I woke up semi early today to head to the train station and go to tigre or the delta. I met a friend from UO at the train station and we tried to meet up with another girl which we ended up doing in Tigre. We got off the train (which we and a majority of the people on it had to stand the whole time which was about 45 min-1 hour) and headed for the boat trips. We got a two hour boat trip, half of which we spend on the bottom deck sipping on café cortados. We got off the boat and looked around a bit for restaurants. None of the heaping piles of grilled innards enticed us so we headed to the other main attraction. The fair. I suggested we just some of the fair food…and that is just what we did. Each of us had something “substantial” (I had a hotdog, someone had a crepe, and someone else had a hamburger and fries). Then we went wild. Walking around the fair the other girls ate chocolate covered strawberries, and I opted for A HUGE thing of cotton candy. My camera was acting up so the picture didn’t save, but I think one of the other girls got a photo that I will post when I get it. We then got alfajores, and to finish off the day candy apples. It was a day of sweets sweets and more sweets. We headed home on the train, and were so sugared up we could hardly stand still. It was a nice day of fun, and now I come home to Buenos Aires…big busy Buenos Aires.
