Rosario and Couchsurfing

So I spent a week in Rasario, where I tried out couch couchsurfing for the first time. For those of you that don`t know it`s a program that allows you, once you`re a member, to contact other people in the group around the world. I deally they put you up while you`re in the area but sometimes if they don`t have accomodations they will meet you out for coffe or a drink. The first guy I contacted was studying for an exam so he couldn`t help me out but he said I should contact agirl named Piru. Piru turned out to be an awesome girl who put me up for about a week, she was studyng too but she gave me good suggestions as to what parts of the city I should see and also a few names of people I shoudl try to meet up with while I was there. I ended up meeting a bunch of couchsurfing people out there and they were all very cool. It seems like a great program and from what I`ve seen has been set up pretty well (which is why Im going to lengths to exlpain it now). I definately plan on trying it out some more. As for Rosario itself, it`s a really cool town, a little over a million people but it doesn`t feel that big. It`s the birth place of Che Guevara and there are a good number of art and natural history museums. The city stretches along the river and there are tons of great parks and cafes all up and down it. Spent quite a few hours lying down in the parks to read which seemed alway seemed to turn into long naps.
