jujuy

I just got back from a northern province in Argentina called Jujuy- which, apart from being fun to say, is absolutely beautiful. Situated in the Andes, Jujuy (specifically Tilcara, where we stayed) is covered in red rock, a cactus here or there, and llamas(!). A big fan of Emperor's New Groove, I thoroughly enjoyed the llamas by taking pictures of them, buying sweaters of their fur, and eating steaks of their meat. Jujuy was wonderful because it was such a nice change of pace from the city. The stars at night were unbelievable (sooo many and incredibly bright). Venturing parts of Jujuy, I visited the salt flats which were very impressive. Salt for miles...

Now, back in BA, the smoke that has surrounded the city has finally cleared up and it's back to classes for me! sort of. i have some classes this week and then thursday is a holiday. I might explore southern Argentina on my days off this week and the week after i'll be going to Mendoza!

For now, classes and tango.

un beso.
