Palermo was my last place I rented an apartment in BA with the fabulous Glo. It is such a lovely area. There are places to be seen, shops with shoes, bags and clothes to make any women weak at the knees. But it is also hommage to the dog walkers. Now collection of poochy poo would normally happen but as a means to an end for the average dog walker, they would spend all day bent over and be left with a rather hefty bag and no doubt a constant gag! I actually feel a slight pang of anxiety for the small pooches that was tied next to the larger pooches. Ouch. A complete useless piece of information is that I have never seen a poodle amongst a pack of common pooches. Thanks to Glo for her photographic contribution.

Hola Well as you can see I found an internet cafe to upload some photos. Pretty impressive they are, but a shadow on the real thing. Northern Argentina was a great way to practice the little Spanish. It is amazing at how many different combinations of sentences you can form from limited vocab. From Corrientes we made our way to Salta. I was excited having heard some stories about this place in Buenos Aires. We did a trip to Jujuy, which included the seven coloured mountains, the grand salt plains and cloud valley.  The workers on the salt plains wore balaclavas and a good indication to get my screen out of my bag. The trip also included going passed the largest cactus I have ever seen. It was 7 meters and is around 700 years old, so around the same time Christopher Columbus set foot on the continent. We came across some friendly llamas in colourful neck ties. This somehow twigged that if you ask what a persons name is you ask tu llama, and also the name for fire is llama. llama

Hola, I am currently on tour with the girls Gloria and Dolly. We first made our way to Iguazu on Monday. We had quiet a posh bus trip with bubbles included. Yes ladies of leisure together with our socks and flip flops. Just on the outskirts of Iguazu you can see that some investment has started to step up. Saw mills and timber yards are very common here. You will be going through forest, then suddenly pass small towns where a concrete block with two young lovers sitting outside hand and hand with a sign above them saying "barpool" which I presume is the local entertainment. There was quiet a funny sight when we went under a walk overpass. When I took a double look it appeared to have wheels at the bottom. I could imagine locals wheeling it up and down the road depending on where they wanted to cross. The outskirts of Iguazu are a mixture of steel and glass building to little communites of wooden huts. Iguazu falls has to be undoubtedly one of the most amazing places Iv
