Tren de la Costa

The English translation is the coastal train. Today we caught a train out of BA to Mitre where we transferred to the coastal train. It is a light rail electric train that travels north along the water to Tigre. Unlike the regular train this train has nice scenic views and a number of stops that you can hop off and back on a later train. We got off in the town of San Isido, this town is supposed to be one of the most affluent towns in AR. From there we continued on to Tigre again, there we played some slots on the casino, had lunch and headed back to BA on the regular train. The train was half full today so had a nice seat for the ride back. Vendors, entertainers and others jump on and off the train seeking to gain a few pesos.
