Age of Aquarius

Salta day one: Liz and I arrived in Salta after a 10ish hour bus ride, tired, cranky, and cold. We spent most of the first day familiarizing ourselves with the town, and getting to know out new roommates, two mates from New Zealand with the best accents and most hilarious cultural expressions I have heard in a long time. Our hostel is cute. It is painted in exotic bright colors and gives us free breakfast and dinner, which is served usually around 10pm or later, so since Liz and I cant really make it that long we usually have a light dinner around 6ish and consider the homemade food cooked at the hostel our 4th meal.

Salta day two: We went to a travel agency to arrange to see the salt flats and the cute little town of Cafayate for a wine tour. We really wanted to do the Tren de las Nubes, which means Train to the clouds, but we were told it isn´t in the best working condition and probably wouldnt be worth the trouble. We are told the other excursions will take two days. So we choose to do the salt flats on day three, and wine tasting on day four with our new mates in tow.
