Just North of Buenos Aires, the Paran
á River forms a delta. There are lots of abandoned old ships, half sunk, that I find beautiful. If someday they are removed part of the character of the place will disappear. The small boats that transport wood, groceries, the boat ambulances, the garbage collection boats, all make it a very special place. The houses are built on stilts and have very interesting architecutural styles.

I've heard about the river-transport-based communities, but never directly. It's fascinating to see a little of this world, so different from our own, here in the States. Of course, it brings to mind the Herzog movie, and River Queen, though I don't think they were that close by (?).
