We had no clue!

when we left for our Argentinean adventure we had very little expectations on what it would look like.  Jim expected pampas type environment.  I was expecting farmland.  We have seen sugarcane and sorghum growing near Jujuy.  We saw sunflower fields and a few crops during the first hour or so of our drive today but after....  it was so reminiscent of the American Southwest.  We were riding through Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands and Moab in Utah.  Quebrada del Rio de las Conchas was way more than we expected.  (8 th wonder of Mother Nature- as someone online called it.)  Our photos do not do it justice.  It was a mostly cloudy and gloomy day and we will revisit this area in a few days.  Hopefully we will have sunny skies and get more pictures.

This 

is a sharp curve sign and there were at least a hundred of them!  Any one knows me will know I was very happy to be driving.  

Behind us 

is a spectacular canyon that curves inside the mountains.  There is a huge sign that says some like- danger, do not pass or go any further. I guess in all nations there are people who believe the rules do not apply to them or their small child.  Yikes!  Great way to teach your kid respect for naturedumb a**.  

Hopefully tomorrow Jim will send me the link to a video he took of a cow in the road.  He 

had just been complaining that we hadn’t seen any animals and ... ta da. There was a beast in front of the car.  We also saw some goats.  

Generally we haven’t seen many wild animals.  My sister would not be happy with the many, many stray dogs that roam, lie, sit, scratch, and lick themselves in every town and on every road.  Sometimes they have to lift their head so you can walk or drive by.  They all seems very docile and harmless.  

That’s all for tonight.  Thanks for stopping by and thank you all for the many emails telling me you are following along.  It’s very encouraging.
