Salta

Salta is turisty and the doorway up to Bolivia. Mentionable are the many restaurants that try to come up with the proper response for the high expetations of meat loving men. Streets are noisy as allways and there is a lot of pollution because there is almost no rain in this valley. I walked up to the "Pan de Azucar" of Salta and checked out two museums. One about anthropologic discoveries and the other more sophisticated one about mumies. They are not actually mumies, but the kids are well conserved, because they were burried on a really high mountain top in the perma frost. Then of course there are several parks worth checking out, because they are usually really crowded with young people in school uniform.

Since a old school friend of mine (Melanie Schnidrig) worked and lived there for 2 years, I also greeted her friends, who lived there ever since. To bad she was not there.
