Rosario, Argentina
Kara says: Rosario. Birthplace of Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
And we have a winner! Most agreeable city in South America. Why isn't everyone living here? Any Argentine who doesn't live here (apart from Portenos because you can't really compete with a big city like BA) should have to justify their choice or have their citizenship revoked.
Loads of gorgeous old colonial buildings, plazas, trees, pedestrian streets full of cafes and restaurants, a river, restaurants on the river, parks, jacarandas! Like all the best bits of Buenos Aires in a city of a million people.
Photo of Karl strummin' a tune on our roof terrace ('cause naturally in a city as perfect as Rosario you end up having a roof terrace off your room), world's prettiest silo ('cause in Rosario even the ugly things are made pretty), Karl strolling back from the flag monument - they have impressive monuments here too - to General Belgrano who designed the Argentine flag.
And as a reminder that there's poverty here too a photo of a protest by cartoneros (collectors and sellers of recyclables) who all brought their horses and carts along. Photo of the apartment building where Che Guevara was born/lived his early years.
And finally a Karl arty-farty moment at the momument.
