San Isidro
On Monday, July 18th I wished to find the post office, Correos, to
buy a stamp and send a postcard to France, then to visit El
Cementerio, finally to do purchases at Cerrefour. Alas in the three
cases I turned in the streets for a parking, I did not find
anything. Moreover underground car parks have a maximum height of
2.10 meters. I had appointment with Juan, Union Tecnica, for the
purchase of an electric heating. He had bought to me a model
produced by Arthur Martin! Finally he modified my electric cable to
adapt it to the catches standardized in Argentina. Juan dealt to
send my postcard. I returned to bivouac at the port of San Isidro.
Ramallo
On Tuesday, July 19th I intended to make to a stage in the camping
L'Hirondelle at Tigre. While arriving I hooted, I called but the
gate was padlocked. Ultimately I went my way towards Rosario. I left
the autopista to go at the edge of Rio Parana to find a bivouac in
Ramallo by overhanging the Club Nautico. The day was agreeably
sunny.
Cap.t Bermudez
On Wednesday, July 20th I arrived at Rosario, city of +1.5 million
inhabitants, to make two visits. Of course I started with Monumento
Nacional a la Bandera. It was set up to contain in its crypt the flag of
Argentina drawn by the General Manuel Belgrano. Behind the cathedral and
the town hall surround Plaza 25 of Mayo. While waiting for the opening
of Museo Historico Provincial at 14:00 I strolled in the downtown area.
I benefitted from it to inform me about the purchase of an USB key of
Internet connection. Two FAI, Claro and Mobistar, answered me that there
was but a few years ago! Museo Historico Provincial exhibits mainly
religious objects of the colonial period. Some artifacts are remarkable
carried out by artists of 17th and 18th century. On the way towards
Santa Fe I stopped at a gigantic Carrefour store. Then I found a
sumptuous bivouac in Capitan Bermudez at the edge of Rio Paraná where I
remained two nights.

Santa Fe
On the way towards Resistencia I stopped in Santa Fe to visit the
downtown area around Plaza 25 of Mayo which gathers the religious
buildings dating from the 17th century. Convento Museo de San
Francisco has one meter thickness walls which supports a roof in
cedar of Paraguayan. It is still in activity and the visit is
reduced to a hall with liturgical objects as well as the vault which
has a pulpit covered with gold sheets. Museo etnografico was quickly
visited. On one on the sides of Plaza Iglesia de la Compaña goes
back to 1660 but it was closed. Further on the place catedral is of
a very great simplicity. In way I saw Casa de los Aldao which dates
from the beginning of the 18th century, closed. back on Plaza I
threw an eye in Templo de Santo Domingo. Then back to my truck I
warned the Tourist office with a Wifi connection which I used during
one hour. I return again my road to find a bivouac on a small
adjacent road with the ruta-#11, to Colonia Dolores.

Ruta-#11
Saturday, July 23th was a quiet day on Ruta-#11 to approach
Resistencia. I bivouacked close to a house in ruin by hoping that
the owners of the ground will not come to draw me by the feet from
my bed.

Resistencia
Great disappointment on Sunday, July 24th it has nothing there to
see in Resistencia. Moreover the municipal camping is rudimentary,
without water in the toilets and showers, without Wifi and very
noisy.
