Punta Lara

Saturday, we decided to test out the notoriously bad La Plata beaches. And well, they lived up to their reputation. We ventured out to Punta Lara (about an hour by bus from the center of the city).

Completely empty even though it was in the 80s and sunny.

The beaches are a bit dirty and there is absolutely no way I would ever go into the water, but we had a lovely day walking around and hanging out. We wandered over to the reserva and I snapped this lovely photo:

There were a number of cute little restaurants along the way serving the typical Argentine cuisine: carne y chori.

the obligatory mate

Post lunch, we found a nice grassy spot (not on the dirty beach), had some mate, hung out, went for a walk and took pictures.

It was lovely :)
