Las Cascadas y yo!
Trying to prove I was there I guess... Después de Sucre, I got on a bus and headed to Tarija, a town at the very south of Bolivia. Tarija is tiny town but really cool, a lot of action for such a small place. Markets fill the streets, there are always people in the plazas and walking about town, vendors everywhere you look selling fruita, Humitas (like tamales), salteñas (Bolivia´s empanada), hamburgesas o dulces. Tomorrow is ¨Día de Comadre¨, similar to ¨Día del Compadre¨ that I celebrated in Potosí but for the ladiessss!
I´ve been here for a few days, taking a travel break más o menos. This has been the first time in my last two months or so of travel that I have really been alone, and I´ve decided that I´m not a big fan of traveling sola, (Mom, Dad and Bridge know, I had a ¨homesick breakdown¨ for the first time two days ago!).
In Tarija, I´ve been hanging out around town, catching up on sleep, reading (on my second novel in Spanish, go me!), having avacado and cracker picnics in the plazas, etc. Super relajada. Yesterday I took a bus about 5km ouside of Tarija to a little town called Tomatitas, from there
Plaza Sucre
I picnic here almost everday :) I walked through mountains, cornfields and cows to a sleepy little town called Cuimata, where I hiked up a river to some waterfalls and had lunch.
Think I´m going to head into the north of Argentina in a few days, planning on spending Carnaval in a pueblo called Tilcara before hitting up Salta and Cordoba. Getting pretty tired of traveling (weird, never knew it was possible), so I think I´lll be heading back to Santiago after Cordoba.
