Most of Sharleen and Michelle's family is from Rosario, so I spent some time with them up there. They showed me around and I got to meet a ton of their family. There's also a significant memory museum in Rosario, so I was able to get some research done as well. To see my entire Rosario album, click here. These are some of the highlights from the trip:
El Monumento de la Bandera (Monument to the Argentine flag)
Rosario is an absolutely beautiful city that sits along the Parana River. There are miles of promenade where the city has been refurbishing old train buildings and turning them into restaurants and cultural spaces. We had absolutely beautiful weather the entire time we were there.
Memory Museum in Rosario.
This building is currently a restaurant called Rockenfeller's, but during the dictatorship, it functioned as the headquarters for the 2nd Provincial Unit of the Argentine army. This is the building that will be turned into the permanent memory space in Rosario as soon as it is turned over the Memory Commission.
Us with Shar's cousin at a family dinner.
The last night, we went to another family's house for dinner which was so much fun. We ended up going out with the cousins, Matias and Lucas, later that night and had a blast.
People go out SO late here-- I think it was about 1:30am when this picture was taken. We were just starting!

I love this picture :)
Club!
I'm pretty sure this is one of Lucas' friends that we ran into.
Rosario was an absolute blast!
