During the heats of the Southern summer (January to March), Dady's family abandoned the city of Rosario for Riachuelo (the small river, in French), near a sandy beach on the banks of the Rio de la Plata (a huge yellow freshwater estuary loaded with silts, 150 km wide), in Uruguay, on the north shore. the beach and the quarry, page 29541.
30 years later, we also went to the same chalets, the Cordelle and the Jean Hausermann.
There were two wooden Swedish cottages in which the family was staying. Naturally, even in 1930-39, oil lamps were used to light up, and drinking water, drawn from a well with a wind pump, was filtered on sandstone, dripping.
EH01B - Horse riding
The horse ride, another local distraction. These horses, not trained to the European, could not trotter, the only possible steps were the step, the amble and the gallop. That's how I learned to climb between 3 and 8 years, in the years 33-39 at the Riachuelo.
The small town of Colonia ("Colonia del Sacramento") in Uruguay, on the edge of the Rio de la Plata estuary, where a small "malle" was landed from Buenos Aires, 60 km. from there.
