Hello! It is April 4th now, and we are in Tupiza, Bolivia... heading off on a 4 day tour of the salt flats tomorrow. We have dated this entry March 28th though, as we have decided we need two blogs to give justice to our time in Buenos Aires. We arrived in Buenos Aires (BA) on Tuesday, March 25th after a marathon bus ride.
