We spent a day round Cafayate doing vacationer issues earlier than driving out of city for the night time.
We left the campground late after dumping our trash and taking our showers m and puttering round cleansing, filling the water tank, not writing my weblog and so forth. With a full water tank we have been good to go.
Cafayate is a small city so massive field shops are nowhere to be seen. This the trick is to buy groceries like your grandparents did, retailer to retailer, meat, greens, fruit and pet food, paper towels and so forth the place you discover them.
And Layne had a lead on a cheese farm out in the midst of nowhere.
They name it Sandy Farm as a result of it’s all sand south of city however Google Maps acquired us there. Fall is occurring now with inexperienced going yellow nevertheless it’s nonetheless sizzling and sunny by day.
Argentines have been out in drive within the run as much as Easter picnicking on wine and cheese.
We acquired some cheddar and Gouda and Romano cows milk cheese and a chunk of goats milk cheese with oregano. I’m not keen on goat milk cheese however perhaps this artisan stuff might be extra delicate than the goat cheese I’ve had from supermarkets.
Our plan was to drive up Freeway 68 towards Salta for an hour and return to our peaceable wild camp by the river.
Rusty was delighted to be again. After which Layne, the chief communications officer acquired a message from Julia and Konstantin of Seattle. They exchanged areas and it turned out that after being denied entry to Bolivia they have been now two hours north of us.
I went as much as the freeway with my kindle and a stool and sat by the facet of the highway for about twenty minutes till they arrived. Then we set about catching up. They actually appreciated Brazil and made it sound like we’ll too.
We have been interrupted by a flock of locals.
They glided by to the river and we carried on.
They journey with cats and should get papers for them to go to Chile however we’re planning to journey collectively company wild tenting on the coast of Chile earlier than they go south to ship their Sprinter house to Seattle and we go north to Peru.
Tomorrow: again to Cafayate.
