3rd day - Cachi

3rd day now...Cachi
it also started pretty early, but as every other day, it was worth it
the first stop was at a bridge
nice place, but it was a little cloudy
as the day went on, it got better

there were some nice flowers there, at least i liked them

so we continued the trip
it was beautiful, lots of green everywhere

the next stop, another bridge, we had to get down of the van so it could cross it
yup, another beautiful place
you may tink that you would get tired of seeing one great view after another, but you dont, it makes you want to see even more

thats the bridge

and thats why there is a bridge
saltas rivers aren't so impressive :P

more flowers that i liked

and a nice shot of len

i also took the opportunity of shooting those two little girls
i asked, nicely, and they let me

so, on with the trip
thats the view from the window, we came through there, very courvy

a while later we had to make a pit stop, there wherent going to be any bathrooms later
that was the place
lennie went, i didnt

i took photos of the weird things they had over there :P

that guy was with us, he wanted to walk a little, so he kept on while we took a break

next stop, Cuesta Del Obispo
that was a breathtaking place...
and not because we were 3348mts over sea level...

because of that!!
you could only say "wow..." looking at that view

that was amazing...

there even was a little church...theyre everywhere...

after a while we had to leave, sad but true...

next stop, a little place full of cacti
and a pretty long straigh

to the left, colorful mountains

to the right, cacti, all over the place

she is used to my beard, so it was not a problem to do that

same for me ;)



can you tell who took which? ;)

that was the last stop before we reach Cachi

thats in Cachi, the main church

nice doors and windows there

we had lunch there in cachi, in a little but very cute place

it was also very yummy

we had our first Salta for the first time, and we both liked it a lot

oh, mirror, click!

lennie has that with cars interiors

after lunch we went for a walk, to get to know the place
those corner doors caught our eye
as you can see its very easy to like that place

i think that was the police station

len shooting some graffiti

me a corner door

some shops...
and that thing on the right:
dried out cacti
its wood is used for various purposes, for lamps, decoration
i personally didnt like it pretty much...

inside the shop

hehe...that difficult face...

more reflecions


as i said before...salta people...very tired, they have to take naps wherever they can

i always sit in the shadow

lennie in the sun

so that concludes our day
and for the night

we went to the main plaza, there are lot of little places to eat, and theyre all out on the street
so its nice to sit there after a long day a relax a little

cute, right? ;)

len was curious for a drink there, "sex on the moon"
with dulce de leche
now you can see why she was interested :P
tasty

last shot of the day, the main cathedral
it has nice lighting, makes it more interesting

so, thats it for today
next time: Purmamarca
you dont want to miss that

saludos, greetings, groetjes
