Mar del Plata

On the night train.

The beach at Mar del Plata.

Looking the opposite direction.

The most crowded (and most sunny) I saw it, and not even crowded by local standards.

The casino behind the beach, Mar del Plata.

Avenida San Martín, a pedestrian mall that leads to the beach.  My hostel was on this street. 

Restaurant and a storm, Mar del Plata.

Feet in the cold Atlantic (and a nice Chaco tan in progress)!

Very much a resort town, built right up to the water.

Looking back towards Av. San Martín from the beach.

Spot the body boarder.

Post-surf, Mar del Plata.

Heading back out for another session in the waves, Mar del Plata. 

Reunion.

The box of bonbones (chocolates) I bought from a specialty shack.  Some of them made it all the way back to Buenos Aires, can you believe it?

At the train station awaiting our scarlet steam engine, Mar del Plata.

The countryside and a wheat crop on the return to Buenos Aires.  Reminds me of eastern Colorado in some ways.

More countryside.

I'd recognize that sign from a mile away.

Cool silvery trees.

 A little stream running through the fields.

Moo moos.  I wonder if they're destined for the parrilla (grill)?

Giselle, the cutie pie in the seat in front of me.

Playing peek-a-boo to make it through the five and a half hour ride.

Funny flower pots (tires) at one of the train stations.

 Raindrops on the window.
