I don’t really feel like typing, but I have selected some photos for the past week to keep your interest.  In a nutshell, after our trip to Patagonia we made it back to Buenos Aires and then to Salta – a day delayed due to rain.   Here are some photos from that trip to the Northwest regions of Argentina.  We’ll fill in the stories later.  Simon flew back to San Francisco today and I’m staying on another few days to further explore Buenos Aires and make a day trip to La Colonial de Sacramento in Uruguay across the Rio Plata.

Our first llama spotting on the road to Tilcara – we all ended up getting matching llama sweaters, though we had the excuse that our bags did not make it to Salta with us and we only picked them up after returning to Salta City the next day.
