We decided to take a jaunt up to the Parana river delta, ~45 minutes North of Buenos Aires by train.
We stayed at a hotel in town, which was wonderful except for the dog barking all night..
Made a visit to the extensive Puerto de Frutos market. set out on long piers into the water,
just in time for sunset.
The neighborhoods are all reached by water rather than roads, and the next morning we caught a 'lancha' (municipal transport boat) up river.
We passed Domingo Faustino Sarmiento's last home, which is now hermetically encased in glass,
townsfolk on their daily errands,
and walked around the neighborhood of Tres Bocas once we got off the boat.
Everything is on stilts.
