Por fin, Bonnie, Edgar and I went to Argentina. As mentioned before, no visa, no problem. Although Edgar was given some grief, being Peruano.
It is so far so good. I'm excited to be in a latin american country with a large European influence (although our Peruvian friends insist this makes it a non-latin american experience).
We started in Salta where we encountered a dorm buddy who we call Chécito (he was shorter than me) and he cooked us some Argentina carne, great beef, on the grill. And amazing potatoes. He also shared with us mate (mah-tay), an herbal drink 97% of all Argentines drink throughout the day to stay hydrated. Generally it is shared in a circle, and a thermos of hot water continually refills the cup to keep the social atmosphere going round.
We went to a nearby village, San Lorenzo, and hiked a bit then enjoyed mate and conversation. It is just gorgeous here.
