Hi guys. I' back in Buenos Aires again. The flight from Salta to Buenos Aires was really long. Well at lest it felted like that. It was really 2 hours. After I went to Cafayate I went to a place called Tilcara. It took 3 and a half hours. It felt felt really long. When we went to our hostel we met a man and it looked like he owned a dog. But it turned out that he was a street dog. And he could do really cool tricks like sitting down and rolling over and you didn't have to tell him just had to do a hand signal. Mainly because he couldn't understand English.
We went to see some llamas. There was a nice one but I can't remember what she was called.
When we were driving along we saw loads of colours in the mountains. It's caused by different elements. But around half way back I got sick of my Mom saying "look at that one, and that one with all the colours"! But the problem was I couldn't see most of them because I forgot my glasses!
We went to the salt plains and it looks like snow. You would think it was ice because you are able to walk on it. It used to be a lake. I managed to take some home with me in the car but most of it crumbled up. But I still have some to bring home.
When we were driving we were up so high that we could look down on the clouds. At one stage there was a really twisty road and my mom was terrified that we would go over the edge.
When my Dad was trying to get bananas, he said "bananas" to the lady and she said "no". My Dad said "bananas" again and the lady said "no" again. And on the third time my Dad peeled an imaginary banana while saying BA-na-na and the lady still said no. And the funny thing was that my Dad didn't know that banana was the same in Spanish as it was in English!
So then the hunt for more bananas began.
Hope to write to you soon

Ber Hi Elle :) Wow you really are going to exciting places I am looking forward to hearing all about your adventures when you get home. Everything here is very boring compared to your hols. Nana & myself went to Wexford last weekend and we had a lovely time. Kildare were playing Mayo on Sunday & beat them ........ Up the Lillies :) (even though grandad Larry wasn't v happy Mayo were beaten ! ). They are playing Tyrone in Newbridge next Sun & that will be a difficult game because Tyrone are very good. I am not going because I don't have my 2 match partners to go come me....they are off gallivanting around the world somewhere :). That was a really funny story about your Dad, I am breaking my heart laughing here at my desk in work !. Looking forward to seeing you sweetheart, say hello to your Mam & Dad and safe journey home to you all... LOL Ber x
Padraig Creighton Hi Ellen this is Padraig your cousin I read the blog it was really exiting I was always wondering what was going to happen next when you get back can I see that salt stuff that you thought was snow! My favourite part was when you saw the colours on the mountains. There is nothing exiting going on back in Kildare except my grandad Ken and nana Ann is here they came because my grandad Ken's brother has died. Safe journey I can't wait until you come back!
