No movies...again!

Cordoba in a flash
Don’t ask me what Cordoba’s like. We spent a whirlwind 24 hours there as a pit stop on our way to Iguazu Falls. We managed to fit in a museum, a zoo and a lot of city walking (and take heaps of photos as usual!). ...
Pelote and Truck Stop Camping

La barrera del idioma (The language barrier)
... significant challenge is the presence of dialect. There is a very strong accent and way of speaking here in Argentina, especially in Cordoba. Think of somebody from South America learning the type of English spoken in the United Kingdom and ...
La maison du Che
Le lendemain, je pars avec Alba, Cayo, Johan, Juliana et Maren à Alta Gracia, un petit village au Sud de Córdoba célèbre pour avoir vu grandir Ernesto "Che" Guevarra, la figure charismatique par excellence de toute l'Amérique latine. ...

Cordoba
I went to Cordoba to break the long haul to Buenos Aires up for a few days. Not too much here, hundreds of shops and a really nice market, but 2 days was enough here. What I did do is go to a jesuit missionary 45 mins away and Che Guvaras house where he ...
