We are in Jujuy how amazing! We went to Purmamarca and saw the amazing mountain of the 7 colors. Wow so many colors and we tried the quinua y the humitas, which is a tamale wrapped in corn husk with corn, milk, and I dont know soooooo good. Very delicious, they eat more spicy food and healthier here in the north, I like it! Last night we celebrated the Carnaval at a little bar and listened to traditional folk music. It was soooooo amazing! This couple sang the coolest folk music and played a guitar and a bass drum. The woman had a voice so lovely that I could´ve listened to it alll night long and fallen asleep to it. It was amazing! I met a bunch of new Argentines that are from Buenos Aires, so more friends from the city. Then we came here to Tilcara and went to the Pucara of Tilcara which is an old Inca ruins. It was amazing! I can´t hardly explain, the pictures as well can´t explain how amazing it is as well. Then tomorrow we are headed back to Jujuy to try some Spicy Peanut Soup, that Jujuy is famous for. I hope its good. Then today, we are staying in a room with an Argentine, and we are all going to cook together. So. we headed to the market and on the way back I bought the book that Chavez gave to Obama because I was without a good book. Then on the way back I ran into two friends from Buenos Aires and right now we are chatting with them in our hostel. I have had such a great time here! I really love Jujuy, its amazing but now I´m ready to go back to the city and relax a bit. Its been a really heavy trip but worth it. Everything worked out well! No problems, no missed buses, everyone really helpful and everything really lovely and it was a great trip. I don´t want Jannie to go but I need a bit of a break from traveling and planning.
Bueno, les amo a todos!
