To Salta!

June 6 to June 10

I left Buenos Aires on Wednesday at 4:30 a.m. for a flight to Salta, a province in the northwest portion of the country. We’re in the city of Salta, capital of the province of the same name. This is where we will spend the next half of our summer in Argentina.

We’re starting our time in Salta with a homestay. John and I are living with Eduardo Moya. He’s a really nice guy – a gymnastics and swim coach who works really hard and is sarcastic in Spanish.

I like Salta a lot. It’s a bustling city of over half a million, but it still feels walkable and manageable compared to Buenos Aires. It has beautiful architecture and landscapes. It’s surrounded by the foothills of the Andes Mountains.

Here are some photos of the city.
