Day 9 Tigre, Parana Delta

On our last full day in Argentina, we departed our hotel this morning on the way to Tigre, which is the starting point for the Parana Delta. While driving into the province of Buenos Aires, we continued straight on the second longest road in Buenos Aires which is the Avenida Libertador. As we drove on this road, we entered the upper class district as well as passing by the house where the president lives which is nine blocks long and surrounded by a wall. We learned  that the only president to die in the president's house is Juan Peron.

 As we boarded our boat for the 2 hour ride on the delta, we saw many beautiful summer homes along the Delta. What is interesting is that the amount of water in the delta is not only determined by the rain, but the wind as well (which was different on the Uruguay and Iguazu rivers in the north. We ate lunch this afternoon in El gato blanco and again, we were treated to wonderful food. The menu item today was chicken and mushroom sauce followed by a scoop of ice cream and mixed fruit. Our bus then headed on the hour drive to the airport where we had to say good bye to our wonderful tour guide Marissa and our driver Eduardo.



The students had one last opportunity to speak Spanish when arriving past customs, they met a group of 90 fifteen year old girls headed to Miami for their quinceñera. The boys had many opportunities for photo opportunities!!! This was an excellent trip and I can't wait to visit Argentina again!!!!
