CORDOBA AND AROUND (ARGENTINA)

We went to Alta Gracia to see Che Guevara's childhood residence and the building of the Jesuit Mission. Our next destination was Cosquin being the proud owners of a ticket to the Festival National de Folklore.

The campsites were packed. empty chairs in restaurants rare and the music was ,erm, different. We got literately soaked in our tent after a heavy rain at night not leaving anything dry. Luckily it was sunny all day after and by the end of the day everything was back to normal.

Next to our campsite was a river ideal for swimming and sun bathing. The water was really shallow and people just laid in there for refreshment. When a horse crossed the river and poohed, girls in their little bikinis jumped up screaming seeing horse shit floating all around them. It was rather amusing as you can imagine.
