There's no way to cover everything from Mar del Plata. Instead, I'll give brief descriptions of the pictures I managed to take...
Katy's new swimsuit, standing in the doorway to our dormitory in Puerto Nomade Hostel-- my favorite hostel experience yet! Owned by a mother and run by her family, it really makes you feel at home. In addition, her attention to detail and creativity was just enough to give that special vacation touch.
First thing on our to do list: go to the beach! Since it was afternoon, we headed to the closest one: a crowded, energetic little cove about 2 blocks walk from the hostel. After warming on our towels (loaned out by the hostel), I headed to the water. The waves were almost too much for me! I love waves, but there was a moment-- brain jostled, sand under my fingernails from gripping the ocean floor, seaweed wrapped around my neck-- where I decided they were too strong and I needed to come back to shallow water.
This dog is not a pet on vacation. There are whole packs of beach dogs: strays who love to play... down by the boardwalk, down by the seaaaa.
City in back, beach in front. Hot sun, cool wind.
From the hill you can see the crowds. People have started to head home... for the day, and also for the season.
My pretty friend Katy tomando un poco de sol. This is before she lost her earring.
Love the summer colors all around.
There's many picturesque pit stops on the walk towards the bridge.
The lookout: changing tents line the coast in the background. Good thing they've got tops on the tents!
Me and my girl!
After making dinner together, Katy and I put on our social shoes. It was pretty easy with other hostel mates like these. There was a perfect conglomeration of people from different areas, all with a great vibe. Here we're reviewing the rules for an Argentine card came called Truco.
Chicago, Portland, Buenos Aires, Quito, and Mendoza represent!
