Mar Del Plata

A place where you can imagine the past.......

And see the future.......


































Mar Del Plata has a 'bad rep' because it is touristy but it is worth the trip, especially in the very beginning and tail end of the summer season. From Buenos Aires, it is a fairly inexpensive, relaxing get away in a beautiful city. The downtown area reminded me a little of Chicago in the summer time, the streets reminded me of San Francisco and the food was like being in Florida. They pride themselves on the water being very pure, meaning without many chemicals and very drinkable. This is said to account for wonderful baked goods. They also offer many different canned foods 'from the sea' unavailable or difficult to find in Buenos Aires.
