ARGENTINA!

After a short trip to Chile we have moved east to Northern Argentina. We felt an instant change in security, infrastructure and enjoyment. Not that we have not enjoyed the countries we have been to, but Argentina already feels the most like home. Our first city Salta was pleasant. We rode a gondola to the top of a nearby hill and walked about the city.

I quickly enjoyed my first Argentinian beef for lunch, yummy! After a ong day of walking We decided to indulge in a fancy dinner. Here they eat dinnar no earlier than 10 pm, so at 11 we arrived to a packed house of merry, singing and eating folks. A bottle of nice Malbec, salad bar, a steak and Chicken for Em cost us $35!!! Finally We are in the land of good livin´ The steak was AWESOME and i send a shot out to anyone in my family whom loves the steak we get from Iowa ( and the traildust) this was quite possibly better and definately cheaper!

AHHH steak! Do not be deceived it is cooked to perfection.

Further south we are now in Tucuman, the city is full of people celebrating the Argentinian Independence day today. Just moments ago we had a chance to see the our first women president. The architecture is cool and the people are for most part very nice.

We are headed to Cordoba tonight and will probably be there for our 5th Anniversay on friday. However, destination Mendoza will soon as well, there we plan to settle for a bit, immerse ourseves, do some skiing and probably more spanish classes.

Happy birthday Brad!
