Tigre Delta

As it's been a few weeks since "nerding out" and updating this blog, I have continued to stay busy checking out new places, meeting cool people and falling more in love with the country. Last weekend, we ventured to the Tigre. A delta located 50 minutes north via the train, we had no idea what to expect, but were anxious to find out. Well the place was incredible. For 17 pesos (the equivalent to about $4.50), we hopped aboard a funky wooden boat and began our journey. The river was packed with boats of all shapes and sizes. From speed boats, to catamarans to canoes and kayaks, all were crusien' alongside one another. The weather was gorgeous (mid to upper 80's) and the scenery was breathtaking. The only surprising thing was the color of the water....It looked like a sewer system! Although we were assured it was safe to swim in, and many people were, our personal hygiene issues took priority and we opted to keep the bathing suits high and dry for another day :) When we got on the boat, you have to tell the captain where you want to be dropped off. We chose a place called, "Parque Lyfe," and kicked it there till the sun began to set. An awesome little day trip that got us out of the city for much needed break. Chao!
