Piper and crazy eyes head home

  

                                                  We've looked better.

Tomorrow is our last day in Argentina. It has gone fast and AL and I are still on speaking terms. We plan on visiting the Museum of Modern Art and Evita's grave. Our plane leaves at 9 PM and will be in route for 13 hours.

We arrive Wednesday morning.....I hear there is a parade for us.

Asta la vista Argentina.

Cue the duck boats

       

I wore the patriot shirt all day that Beth gave me for Christmas, sure that it would bring good luck. I am sure Ryan had his puffy jacket out too. We had ESPN in our hotel room so AL were confident we could see the game....Then there is a always live streaming......then there is always digital radio so there shouldn't be a problem.

We got a bottle of Malbec and settled in. When game time came ESPN had the game in Spanish. Again, I wish I had studied more. We tried to get it streaming but I think the system was on overload. We tried to get it on radio but again no luck. Katy Perry was in English. I am not sure what language Missy Elliot was in. Finally, in the fourth quarter, I found a BBC radio station that was doing play by play with about a five second delay. Interesting hearing a "Brit" explaining american football. 

All ok though, being able to see and hear the last minute of a great game and see the celebration afterward............priceless.

Rain forest road route 9

Heading back to Salta we decided to take a route that went through a rain forest area of the Andes. The road was very very narrow. At  some of the switchbacks only one car could pass at a time. The road I grew up on was wider. The road cut through lush forest where there was a lot of cattle farming. The cattle just wandered along the side if the road grazing. It was a beautiful ride.

We arrived back in Salta around 5:00. We head back to Buenos Aires on Monday and hope we can watch the Super Bowl somewhere Sunday night.

Purmamarca

This is probably the most picturesque town of the Humahuaca Gorge. It sits at the foot of the well known Cerro de los Siete Colores ( mountain of seven colors for my non Spanish speaking friends)  the name of the town means "town in the desert"

This means nothing to me but it will to my son the geologist.
