Swiss Hotel Metropol - Tucuman San Miguel de Tucuman

... don't know the names of most of the places we visited but my favourite town was so small that only about 8 families had lived there - there was a quaint church and some old run down tennis courts as well as some beautiful houses. I wouldn't have liked to have to drive up there all the time though!

Then this morning I'm off to the bus station again for the journey up to Salta - during the day this time as it was "only" about 4 and a half hours.

... zu einer Uebernachtung in der Zuckerrohr Metropole San Miguel de Tucaman, um dann am naechsten Morgen weiter nach Salta reisen zu koennen.
Das Ticket nach San Pedro kann man nur in Salta direkt am Schalter von Gemini oder Pullman loesen ...
In Tucaman bin ich einem echten Bijoux von Hostel untergebracht. Das schmale, langgezogene Gebaeude war ...

... e got some meat, and it was about 650 gr for about 9-10 shkels. it had lots of fat, but still it was so good. we also discovered a small restaurant, and yesterday we got the steak shnizzel for about 8 shekels, and they were so nice, and saw how we were looking on their empanadas, so they gave us to taste an empanada each, and they were so good, and their also so cheap, im gonna take 10 of them now.... later today ill go on to the next city, which i forgot its name right now.

... that while Tristan had planned the timetable and route, and therefore had set expectations of what the trip would hold, he didnīt feel comfortable when I deferred decisions related to these things to him. I wasnīt fussed where or when we went so it didnīt really matter to me but I got the feeling he resented the responsibility of making these decisions. Anyway, eventually we set off with the intention of getting to Tafi de Valle that night. Tristan had ...

... and restaurants play American music, and a lot of the shows on TV are from america but with subtitles. 2. All the wild dogs everywhere. They travel alone, in packs, and go pretty much whereever they want. We have wild dogs in my school.. 3. How accomodating people are in general. Anyone that I have met seems to be pretty nice and really eager to talk. 4.how nice the cafes are. All the weighters wear nice clothes and the coffee always comes in a cup and saucer, often ...

... of it.. but at least I feel better. Friday March 7th- I got to sleep in till 10 thanks to no school (I usually have to get up at 6:30). The maid was here cleaning (yes we have a maid.. most people here do actually) but luckily she didn't wake me up. I had a slow slightly boring morning until around 2 when I went over to Lindsay's house (she is in my group) for a fiesta. Apparently her 22 year old brother Facundo throws a party every Friday. Even though it was a bit rainy, my ...

... was nothing because I just watched the movie they played and slept. Sunday, March 2nd Tucuman is hotter than Buenos Aires. I got out and met my family (all the fams were waiting at the bus stop). I have a sister named Lourdes who is 16 and very pretty. I have a mom named Graciela who is 43 and super nice. I love my host family so much, I feel really lucky to have gotten them. Graciela showed me around the city a bit, but nothing sunk in since it's all so new ...

... or head to mendoza via tucuman and cross to santiago. we also thought about flying, but again, as an american, i would have to pay a hefty visa if i enter chile by air, not by land, though. since we've already been to salta, we decided to head to mendoza. when we got to the only bus company that heads that direction, the woman told us that she had no tickets on the 6 o clock bus, that we'd have to wait until 2 tomorrow. as we discussed ...

... The names of the bodegas I visited were Vasija Secreta, Nanni, El Transito, and Domingo Hermanos. So let me know if you happen to see one of these brands in Canal's (or whatever your local liquor supermarket is). The next day, I rented a bike with a plan to see a 30+ foot waterfall (and go for a swim there). I left around 11:15 and rode the bike out of town towards the Rio Colorado and a nearby campsite, where I was able to leave the bike ...

... de andere keer stopte de wc niet met flushen, dus alles kwam onder water te staan. We hadden het ook een beetje gehad om iedere dag in een ander hotel te slapen. We noemen elkaar nu al Thelma en Louise. īs avonds was en wel een soort optrden op het plein voor ons hotel. Er liepen alleen maar zwangere stelletjes rond, maar enfin...het leven kan erger.
