August 15-16: Back to SALTA

The "gauchos" are very proud of who they are as the community truely believes in the strengh of its land (Salta) and identity. They are not wrong at that point since most argentinians suffer from the fact they are children of colonists. When we arrived in Salta early morning, we came across a national ceremony in the main square "9 de Julio". Obviously, gauchos were royally posing with their horses and several patriotic speeches were theatrically pronounced with convinction and honour. Very expressive scene with begging trumpets and crying tambourine. I was amused by the show and asked for some more by celebrating our ultimate night in Salta in a charming chacarera bar!!
