After visiting Tupizza in Bolivia where Martine had a ride on horse who liked to gallop but not stop, we moved back into our favourite country - Argentina. On a beautiful square in Salta we sat back and enjoyed the wine while watching the world go slowly by. Then after having our shoes shined we enjoyed the best beef steaks we have ever had while watching Tango dancers and traditional music. Martine got so carried away with being back we bought a CD from each band and a DVD of the Tango dancers.

We then went south to stay with a family who help run an Arts and Crafts school based on traditional Indigenous techniques and partly funded by an Italian/Luxembourgish NGO. This was very interesting and great fun. Especially when we visited a group of ladies who made woolen products from scratch - it takes 30 hours to produce 1kg of wool (enough for one pullover). This time I got a bit carried away and bought a scarf which was just being finished with a brush made with spiky parts of a plant.

Oh I must mention that on the way down we popped into Cafayete which has a micro-climate that is perfect for growing wine. Martine was able to follow the Spanish guide who explained all you need to know about the wine grown there-I just enjoyed drinking it while munching a cheese platter.
