Rosario- Barcos y Monumentos

My second to last weekend in Argentina was spent in the 3rd biggest city in Argentina- Rosario.  The main tourist attraction in the city is the "Monumento histórico nacional a la bandera," or, the "National Flag Memorial" in English.  It is absolutely massive and the columns actually reminded me a lot of Europe!  We took an elevator ride to the top of the monument and were able to get a 360 degree view of the city.  Here are a few pictures from the trip...

Such a massive statue!

A little bit like Rome... maybe?

Also in Rosario, we took a boat ride on the Río Paraná and where able to watch the sunset over the city.  It got pretty cold once the sun went down but it was definitely worth it!

Overall it was a great weekend in Rosario.  It is always exciting to have the opportunity to see a new city and Rosario definitely did not disappoint!
