... to have a one-way system operating, with every second street going in one direction, and the others in the other. This is fortunate because lane markings here are guidelines only (so are speed limits, which in some cases seem to be inappropriate for the conditions e.g. 30km/hr in a back country long straight flat sealed road). Using your indicators is entirely optional and indicating the opposite direction from the one you ...

... of the crowd of animated locals... It must have been the first time in weeks that I'd been up past 10pm, and it was exactly the medicine I needed to release the pent-up frustrations of the day! Today the knee is still painful to walk on but I'm not hobbling as badly as yesterday, and while the others set off hiking and mountain biking, I opted to sit in the sunny plaza with my book and my journal and watch life around me in this charming Andean village.

... Pogoda jest fajna , jest dosyc cieplo, nad nami bezchmurne niebo. Gory ktore mijamy mienia sie setkami kolorow, tworzy to niesamowity , charakterystyczny dla tego regionu efekt.

... place was smaller than Tilcara, but had some pretty things to offer. We paid 20 pesos each to be driven to Las Salinas- the salt flats. It was an hour in a car going over a large mountain pass that was incredibly curvy. I had to keep my eyes shut to keep from getting car sick or really scared at how the man was driving. I survived! Las Salinas were gorgeous, with a bit of water on top of the white salt. It looked like the sky and land were the same- one big sky. We ...

... This week Monday the 24th- Friday 28th- has gone quick and just fine. We had Monday off for a federal celebration or something but I didn´t do too much. I guess there isn´t really anything too interesting that occurred this week to tell about. I´ve been hanging out with friends a bit more, going to the plaza, drinking mate. Tonight I don´t know what I am going to do. I was invited to a party but I don´t really want to go unless the other ...

... y presenciamos un rato del via crucis. (Hoy es viernes Santo y nosotras comiendo llama....) Para el via crucis hacen unos cuadros con las escenas de Jesús cargando la cruz, pero todo hecho con semillas de todo tipo. Decoran algunas esquinas del recorrido de la peregrinación con estos cadros y con flores. Igual vimos sólo un rato, demasiado rezar para nuestra poca creencia religiosa...

... meia hora, o rapaz me diz que a voltagem da bateria que deveria ser de 6V era de 4 V e que ele nao tem as tem. Ele recomenda ´pa-pilla´ , nome interessante para uma loja de pilhas, e lá o rapaz me troca . Fica perfeito. Estou com uma moto ´zero´. Nao sei exatamente onde vou. Sigo para Jujuy e adivinhe - munido do espirito de perfeicao - paro em um concessionária ...

... to Humahuaca, roughly halfway along the Quebrada de Humahuaca, was to see if we could get a ride on the gee-gees before we left Argentina. I´m pleased to say we succeeded, having just got back from a great two hour horse trek into the hills to the north of town. While in town we also saw the rather unspectacular statue of St Francis emerge from a shuttered alcove in the Cabildo in the main square and bless the townspeople before ...
