Salta, Argentina
Friday, February 17th, 2006On the road from San Antonio de los Cobres to Salta, this is what you see:
What do you get when you cross Italy and France with Latin America? Yup, you get an Argentina. The food is fantastic, the hotels are stylish (no bare bulbs dangling from the center of the room on a wire; yes, we are easy to impress), and the people are warm. Oh yes, and the roads are often paved and fully equipped with guardrails and traffic lights in town. Even the unpaved roads have road signs pointing you in the direction of the next town. Go ahead and laugh, but we have both pulled out a lot of hair trying to figure out which fork goes mostly in the direction we want. It is very exciting trying to choose the right path when there is no sign and no person around for miles to ask. Gosh dang, Argentina is a great country so far!
Salta’s cathedral is pink with white icing, whoops, I mean trim.
Here’s Salta’s municipal building.
