The trip back down the mountain pass takes us to Salta once again.  Went to a museum of ancient Inca remains.  The tallest mountain in Salta province is 22,500 ft high.  At the very top of the mountain was discovered the mummified remains of 3 children.  Along with many objects these kids were sacrificed to the gods centuries ago.  They are some of the best preserved remains.  When we were there – the child on display was a 7 year old boy.  The chamber he is diplayed in is kept at -20 degrees celsius and a very dry humidity.  The museum itself knows how to milk the drama of it all.  Very loud moody music and the public area is kept at a brisk 16 degrees celsius as well.

Stuffed on more meat and wine at a restaurant with live music and dancing.  Kind of Vegas in it´s cheezy working of the crowd but the music and dance was great.  The female dancer asked one of the men at the table next to us to dance but he refused.  Turns out they were Canadain and bashful.  So I offered and had a short fun dance with this lovely girl.   Later Jen got her chance to dance with a Gaucho as well.  (kind of cheezy but fun)

Tomorrow off to Buenos Aires and the last phase of the trip.  We meet a Canadian friend who lives there on Thursday and maybe he will give us more insight into the City.

Feeling a little home sick but ok for now

It is very beautiful here in this Argentina.
