He had a nice homebuildiing materials store in town where he kept his office.<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_uzOlpGH-jbk/R7JXebj8rnI/AAAAAAAAAYo/X749v6IxUas/s1600-h/IMG_2472.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166287902853607026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_uzOlpGH-jbk/R7JXebj8rnI/AAAAAAAAAYo/X749v6IxUas/s320/IMG_2472.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then I headed south to Rosario, to meet up with Lou and try to find Rogellio and his family, who had been my host in Carlos Pellegrini.<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_uzOlpGH-jbk/R7JXerj8roI/AAAAAAAAAYw/hf3tA0ZxlNo/s1600-h/IMG_2484.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166287907148574338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_uzOlpGH-jbk/R7JXerj8roI/AAAAAAAAAYw/hf3tA0ZxlNo/s320/IMG_2484.JPG" border="0" /></a> He and his beautiful family invited me for lunch, and we had a great time.<br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_uzOlpGH-jbk/R7JXe7j8rpI/AAAAAAAAAY4/ychH9UUVlF4/s1600-h/IMG_2505.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166287911443541650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_uzOlpGH-jbk/R7JXe7j8rpI/AAAAAAAAAY4/ychH9UUVlF4/s320/IMG_2505.JPG" border="0" /></a> Later, he took me to a Rotary meeting at the Rosario South Club....<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_uzOlpGH-jbk/R7JXfbj8rqI/AAAAAAAAAZA/T2plMgiplw8/s1600-h/IMG_2507.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166287920033476258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_uzOlpGH-jbk/R7JXfbj8rqI/AAAAAAAAAZA/T2plMgiplw8/s320/IMG_2507.JPG" border="0" /></a> and then gave me a guided tour of the city. Thanks Rogellio!
