we only stopped here overnight but we had a little bit to walk around so i changed this to include some photos and a comment about the accent here. while we were at the airport, the man told us to go to someplace he pronounced as porTADos, all one word. we finally figured it out as puerta dos (gate 2), which as i am taught should be pronounced P...

Day 34: September 17, 2007 Back in Salta I modified my morning routine by getting up an hour earlier so that I would have everything in order by 9:00 when Tuity, Claudia, and I were meeting with José Viramonte to try to develop an agreement on a broad project for the Tertiary of northwestern Argentina.
