November 24: Driving Back To Buenos Aires: General Roca
With tons of rain and thunderstorms throughout the night, we were happy the rain had stopped in the morning. We had set the alarm for 6:30am to get the 7am breakfast of coffee, orange drink and croissants. Then we headed out... half the streets were flooded with water from all the rain. It looked like we were ok for gas but about 20km outside of town we realized the gas indicator was dropping a little too fast for comfort so we headed back into town to try and find a gas station and at the same time pick up some snacks for the day. At 9:30 am we were headed back out of town... so much for an early start!
Christopher and Sammy having croissants... Sam seems a little more awake and happy.
The hallway of the hotel and the windows to outside. Notice the big puddle of water *INSIDE* the hotel!
Packing up the car to leave the hotel.
The odd tree on the hotel logo made more sense after listening to the wind and rain all night long!
Front entrance of the hotel.
Last view of the hotel... looks more like a prison than a hotel!
Lots of flooding in the streets of General Roca from last night's rain.
Leaving General Roca... only 1200km to Buenos Aires! Hmmm, maybe we should get gas before we leave?
Sam's picture of an "hibou" (owl). Colouring and drawing was a great pastime for Sam in the car.
We liked the symbol for pregnant women.
A Christmas tree?!
Oh ya, we keep forgetting it's getting close to Christmas!
interesting... there are special lines for decapitated and embarrassed people...?! ;-)
Alright, gas tank is full and food shopping is done... let's get out of the cold wind and hit the road again!
Passing through the "suburbs" as we leave General Roca.
