. Northern argentina sooo good. Quaint towns dry and adobe. spectacular fleamarkets full of junk and scores, oddities and barbeque. from salta to jujuy the road was narrow and windy through green cloudforest and lakes. Arriving in jujuy to a massive indian protest over low wages . the plaza covered with folks camping out and every few seconds the boom of m80 type explosives... we sat by the bikes eating empanadas and thinking bout pitching tents with the protestors..... from there north the landscape turned dry.. ruins and huts and and rolling brown hills. we stopped in the shade of a deserted train station for the last mate in argentina... llamas and vicuñas and dogs and shephards cruised around as we hit the bolivian fronteir. the crossing was painless.
sunset was approaching but we pushed on to tupiza, the old outpost of the famed butch cassidy and sundance kid. The roads immediately turned to dusty washboard full on dirt and the red canyons glowed under the bright moon. Took a amazing sidetrip ride into a valley of massive suguaro type cactus, bat caves with massive echos and an ancient woman leading a group of goats down a seemingly verticle rock cliff of a couple hunderd meaters. gonna post this now cuz im gettin bumped from this little internet cave...
more manana plus photos.... lots of love to all

Show us the ancient woman leading goats....its what I aspire to!
Don't join any protests, stay away from the revolutionaries!!! Maybe you can slip them a little cash....remember its one of the Mom's speaking.
Thanks for the "almost makes me feel there" descriptions. Bueno bueno! that chili picture is a winner and you all w/the bombillas! What kinda of trees are by the chilis? Looks livable there!
Adios you adventurers.
