A lovely day for a spot of rowing

My friend took me to Tigre the other day to go rowing. His dad is part of the Buenos Aires rowing club which is an old rowing club similar to those in Henley. It even has a lot of pictures on the wall of Henley and Windsor so it made me feel at home. The rowing clubs were initially built by the Brits when we were first here and the tradition has stayed. The building is beautiful and I definitely felt at home. We then went rowing on the river. Tigre is a delta so it has so many little rivers and islands that you can explore. Now-a-days its a popular spot for portenos to come for the weekend or people to stay in the little hotels on the islands. We went rowing with Alfredo my friend his dad and little brother. It was so cool and nice to be out on the water on such a hot day (38 degrees) and then just jump in the river for a swim.
