Dear beuatiful and civilized Salta (Argentina)






Welcome to your home country Mor Golan! (Only took me 30 years...)

We got here 2 nights ago. Wow, civilization. No more do we have to ask about hot water in the shower...
Salta is a very beautiful colonial town (a little european and a little andean), the people are very nice, warm, tranquilo and know to ask for their tip as well. :-)
Did we mention there are paved roads here? everywhere! amazing...

Yesterday we had our first experience of real Salta beef (lomo) with a bottle of Argentiniean Cafayate Malbec. We have to admit, that was an amazing meal. And only $23 us dollars... woohoo! Viva Argentina!

On the plaza, 9 de Julio, we met Roberto. This guy made his own wood saxofon (as you can see in the picture), and the sound is just amazing! Wish we could bring it to you Aba Shaul...


Today we went to a 2 hour four trax ride (traktoron=four wheeler) in the ¨jungle¨ of San Lorenzo, a few kilometers from Salta. It was freezing cold (yesterday was too warm to even sit in the sun! and today we froze our asses and hands and all... crazy weather...), but it was an experience, and it was fun.

And tonight, yes tonight, we are heading to our last destination for this trip - Buenos Aires. We are not really looking forward to 19 hours on the semi-cama bus (half bed), but cant wait to have family time with Mors family.

p.s. - Michael is feeling better, thanks for asking! ;-)

by the way, we stayed in this great hotel called Hotel Munay - http://www.munayhotel.jujuy.com/salta.htm and went with this tour agency called "Balance¨ http://www.balance-evt.com.ar/eng/novedades_eng.htm
