Cordoba: Including a Revolutionary Special, a look at some lovely churches, and a few days trips to the Sierras. We arrived in Cordoba after a bit of a mess of a journey, having missed our bus from Rosario and having to wait until 5am for the next one... in any case it was eventually fine, and we arrived in Cordoba city early afternoon to, well, nothing really. as it happens they're pretty serious about their siesta here, and in any case EVERYTHING shuts...

We found accomodation pretty easily in a hostel from the same chain as the one we stayed in in rio, and were pretty pleased. We began sharing a room with a young lady named Mel, who is from Jersey and immediately asked us if we wanted to see X.Men3 that night, a very plesant start indeed. Since then we've been mainly trying to...
