The meat was thick chunks of ribs, other parts of the cow, and some chorizo.<br><br>On Monday I didn't do much special. Went our for a run in a park nearby.

At night we had a free tango lesson on the roof of our hostel where, to be honest, I owned the rooftop! After strutting my stuff on the roof, another backpacker (so many names, so little brain left) and I wanted to explore Cordoba's nightlife which starts at 3 ...

... Leider sind nicht alle drauf... Am Mittwoch hatten wir Nachmittags frei. Da bin ich mit Mario und Charly zu einem anderen Campo am Lago San Roque gefahren. Dieser Lago ist ein Stausee direkt in Carlos Paz und doch schoener als erwartet. Der Campo heisst Los Mimbres und ist eigentlich genauso wie Fly Rock, nur, dass es kein ...
