My footsteps

The rest of the time in Buenos Aires was great! We did a week of Spanish lessons, danced the tango, met so many people, sightsaw (including recolleta), partied, shopped and lived the city life. As much fun as it was we were all relieved to get out of town and on to the road. The bus ride was... well i can´t sleep on them still... but we drove though a lightening storm which was excting! The first stop was Villa Gral. Belgrano, which is a cute little town formed by Germans left here when one of there Battleships sunk off of the coast. It was like steping into a little Germany, and we just happened to arrive on the last day of Octoberfest! We took advantage and sampled some of the local brew. We went on a day hike up to a cross (as you can do in every place here...) but the weather was pretty miserable so we decided to move on pretty quickly. The next stop was Tucuman then on to Tafi de Valle. Tafi was a cool place, we watched them erect a statue and celebrate the opening of a plaza (17 de octubre). Our hostel rooms were split into 2 and 2 and literally there was only enough room to crawl into the bed and once you were in there was no sitting up! We were hoping to go treking but the weather wasn´t great and it would have been one of those places where you climb one hill to get to the next, etc. We did a nice day hike instead up to a cross (notice a trend?) and over to a cemetary. Unfortunately I am having no luck posting or sending out pictures at all! but am getting lots of good ones! Hope everyone is doing well!
