Papyrus Hotel Salta

... to note a few bespoke boutiques offering some more tasty pieces.  Unfortunately I was now with two very bored children and no space in my luggage. <br><br>However I did discover a find on the way home, a beautician who offered waxing.  Thank god my legs were beginning to look like a tarantulas.  My outrageously, expensive waxing in Las Vegas had grown out.  I also asked for a pedicure as well and within minutes Lily, Edie and I were in a dingy room painted a washed out yellow ...

... of banana split (banana ice cream, chocolate chips, and caramel - GOD BLESS THIS FLAVOR!).<br><br>It was cold at our hostel but the people were warm. Upon our arrival we were greeted with laughter...they were watching Ice Age 3 (we have now seen this movie twice in Spanish and once in French, thanks to William). The only other travelers were two German girls, Riky and Feli, both responsible for the laughter. They both spoke ...

... day due to the election up until 8pm at night. So six of us decided the next day would be a good time to hire a car and drive down to Cafayate - a pretty town 3 hours south of Salta, reknowned for its wineries and the scenic drive there. So, we woke up on Sunday morning, collected the car and set off on our road trip. And you can read about that in the next entry! <br><br>We returned to Salta on Wednesday morning and spent most of the day relaxing ...

... like red white, green, beautiful.<br>We stopped for lunch and I had the usual problem because everything on the menu was lamb, fabulous! It was pretty though, and had the best bathroom I have come across in South America, for that alone I am glad we went there, we were all so impressed, I swear it is the small things in life that excite us travelers, like toilet paper, and soap!!! <br><br>We carried on and went to the village of Cachi, it is on the longest national road in the ...

... and came back to Salta. Again sleeping almost the entire way. The plan for tomorrow is to wake up and catch our flight to Iguazu, which should be amazing. Alex's mom has booked us a room at the Sheraton using her Sheraton points and it should be incredible! I hope they don't turn us away because of our filthiness..... no, we´re not that dirty, we all showered tonight. Anyway, it should be tons of fun and I can´t wait to tell you all about it! Love you and miss you all!!!

... abounds in Salta, similar to Ebola (though less lethal), it will make your internal organs bleed if you get bitten by a disease stricken Mosquito more than three times. Once alone will make you feel like you want to die. Swine flu??? Meh! Moving feels great. Moving seems to define me. To push me, to keep me on my toes, to make me draw breath, to think about myself, to think about who I am, to think about my surroundings, to think about those who came before and to ...

... of vomiting over the side of the truck. <br><br><br><br>It was with Tom's family I would be living from here on in and I can't say he was pleased to see us when we arrived the following day as he rolled over looking worst for wear when I burst through his bedroom door and informed him that he would have to help us move some furniture around so I would have somewhere to sleep. We had to change the double bed in his room for two singles from a bedroom upstairs in this house, come palace, I ...

... the galloping challenge. My god, I was scared. I could actually hear my stomach jumping about as they tell you to stay sitting when galloping so basically my legs were holding me on the horse and nothing else. But they made us do it a couple of times and it got a lot better. And we came off the horses for a bit to stretch our legs and Rafael literally just grabbed my waist and took me off that horse clearly thinking I'm too small to do it myself. When it came to ...

I gave Blair some stop-pooing drugs in the morning so he could tolerate a long day in the car, and I got into the mindset that I might be the only driver for the day. After breakfast (which he slept through) he was too weak to accompany me up to the viewpoint to get some good views of the stripy mountain in the morning light, so he stayed in the main square and watched Patrick play in the little playground. The main square was very cool by ...

... up to my daily limit if the ATM was still mid transaction. I call my sister in Australia and get her to cancel my card. Canceling the card also killed my Internet banking. So at this point I have know idea if the next person managed to take any of my money. I hope not. I have a backup card that still works plus another card from a different bank, Plus a lot of US Dollars on me. So I will not go hungry. I still can not believe how stupid I was to walk ...
