Trip to Entre Rios
 
Well, I spent 3 days in an old swiss-french colony in Entre Rios ("Between rivers"), Argentina.

Crossing the Zarate-Brazo Largo bridge

We rent this little house (a "Bungalow") near the river

Well, back on topic, look what Iīve found, a 19th century flamethrower used against the locusts:

Another, with a different bottle

And, of course, rifles: A Springfield, a Mauser 1871 and a couple of french rifles (I donīt remember them).

Some pistols:

And an old upgraded 105 mm Sherman in the gate of a tank regiment as a monument

Well I guess I shouldn't have hit the one that lives in my community in the head with a Pinata bat :D

My friend did some sort of volunteer park service work where he got to use drip torches. I'd bet whoever makes those makes flamethrowers as well.

You're lucky you didn't get beaten to a bloody pulp and then get curb stomped.
