... courier and leave their post office services to the daft gringos. <br><br>We returned our parcels to the hotel and ventured off to "al Mercado Artesanal" but whilst looking at all the merchandise we could not understand why we were there as we could not send the bloody things home so left forthwith and returned to the hotel for homework.<br><br>As we missed out on some of the sights the day before I ambled off with tour guide book and took a look at the Convento San Bernardo where twenty ...

... br><br>When I wasn&#8217;t able to watch the two hairy caterpillars crawl all over his face (as I often wasn&#8217;t able to do since a lady decided it would be a good thing to stand directly in front of me half way through the concert), I spent a good deal of time watching the other audience members. My two compeñeros and I were easily some of the youngest people in attendance. In fact, those with gray, white, or no hair easily outnumbered the ...

... that we had lunch. We had Pizza and Pasta. It was muy yum! After that we went on the subway to go to the Zoo! It was very good. There were Snakes, Crocodiles, Flamingoes, Elephants and much more.

... a difficult few years for volunteers in the country. Previous problems in Salta had resulted in it being difficult to place everyone with a family and so I arrieved to find that I would be staying with Grace, the Local rep, and her family in the suburb of San Lorenzo until a more permanent arrangement could be made.

... an irish guy and a round the world pub crawl, and point of the story being that we are attempting to visit twelve pubs in one evening, spread out over the city. It shall be interesting to say the least. It shall indeed be a challenge. It will absolutely be a blast. And there will more than likely be a whole lot of cringe-worthy photos to look and laugh at in our sorry hungover state on Saturday. So until then i shall go and get some much needed preparatory sleep....

At about 4.00am Dan and walked like the village drunks in some old Irish folk novel to a club called "International Party" where disco danced to such hits as "Girls and boys - by blur" and "Just can´t get enough - by Depeeche mode".

(As usall photos will follow in due course) Love J&amp;D xxx

... had a fantastic dinner: fab food and wine, and awesome company. After dinner, we went back to the square where we were treated to an unforgettable display of 'the soul of BA', the tango. The music was loud and the locals got together and danced the whole evening.    The passion, the sensual movements and the nimble footwork were absolutely stunning. OMG factor: 10! I was just blown away by this marvellous ...

... day he had to go to his home town, Güemes, too. But I knew I was going to see him again at some point.<br><br>Once Ismael was off to Güemes, I had some time left before boarding my bus to the Bolivian border at 00:30 so I went to the famous Teleferico in Salta, sort of ski-lift looking thing, taking you up to the hills, looking over Salta, in this case at sunset. It was beautiful! Salta is a really lovely city!<br>
