March 27, 2007 The next day I took an overnight bus back to Buenos Aires, spent a night there and then took another bus to Cordoba. It rained all day and there was much flooding especially near Rosario. Because of the rain the bus arrived in Cordoba at 9 PM, 3 hours late. Cordoba was a pleasant, busy city.

Che museum in Alta Gracia

On Friday I took a bus to Alta Gracia, a nearby town in the Sierras where Che Guevara lived when he was a child. His house is now a museum and includes many artifacts, including the motorcycle he traveled around South America with before he joined Castro. Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez were at the house last year.
