Opposite the tower in the bank of the slope is a memorial to the 649 Argentine men who died in the conflict. Its a lot of names. Outside the monument stands an oversized argentine flag, facing accross at the tower.

Visiting the tower

I actually climbed the tower of babel of books - and they even took my photo to prove it. I could see some Dickens from the inside, and some American, Canadian and Australian stuff. Each of the embassies have donated books and those books left (i missed the period when you could take one) go to make an 'International Library' somewhere. Thats all i grasped from the talk, it was not in english...

Tigre
Tigre sits on the Paraná Delta and is made of patches of solid gound surrounded by water. It now has loads of these houses on stilts, usually with verandas and always with a Jetty. Its from the jetty that you hail the water bus, or collect booze from the floating off-licence that does the rounds on demand. I visited with a English friend whos fianceé's mother rents a house there. We had a big Asado to celebrate their engagement.
