RESISTENCIA

After leaving the fantastic Iguazu Falls I headed further inland to a city called Resistencia, Argentina. I had heard that the city had over 300 public art sculptures and thought it would be a really cool thing to see. My bus journey was 12 hours and I arrived there the next day.
The city itself wasn't exactly a very exciting place and didn't really have anything else to do so I set about walking the streets to see these sculptures. There were sculptures of all different sizes, shapes and subjects.
Unfortunately some of the people in Resistencia don't really appreciate art and they find other uses for the sculptures like resting their motorbikes, pushbikes against them or even using them as seats while they wait for their bus!
I didn't manage to get photo's of all the sculptures but I did take quite a few pictures, how unusual....
So I just stayed two days here before moving on to a small town called Pres. Roque Saenz Pena.
