We're in Argentina

We've been looking forward to Argentine the beef and wine as a highlight of the trip. We're here now in the northern part of the country. This is one of the Argentina's best wine producing regions, specifically the area of Cafayate. Of course we went. The wine was good and the scenery en route was spectacular. We drove through some amazing twisted rock formations to get there. There are 19 pictures at the link below.

All is well.

We´re in Bolivia and have been to the meat markets.

We´ve been in Bolivia for the month of Oct. We started at Lake Titicaca on the Peru-Bolivia border, we to La Paz, the highest capital city, then have been in Sucre since the middle of Oct. We have spent a lot of time at the markets, especially the meat section. We gawk at the pig and cattle hooves...

and the cattle tails...

 the brains...

the butcher and his hacksaw ...

and the cattle tongues

Trust us, nothing is wasted. You can find every part imaginable (and unimaginable).

Cheers for now.
