THURSDAY 12/30/10 – SATURDAY 01/01/11
I headed to Salta to meet up with some close friends from Minnesota, Hillary and Jason Plank. They flew straight from the U.S. to Buenos Aires then to Salta to spend New Year’s with me. Salta ended up being a very abrupt change for me after settling into the slow pace of the small towns I had previously visited. I was not ready to be in a city again (albeit, a small one of 1 million inhabitants).
starting the day off right
Legislatura de Salta
Plaza Güemes
Plaza 9 de Julio
We did spend New Year’s Eve day taking it pretty easy and began our celebrations with a lot of bubbly and cheese in Hillary and Jason’s vintage hotel room.

brindis!
the spread: apples, Pringles, Cadbury chocolate, bread, cheese, alfajores
We then wandered onto the main street, Balcarce, for a bit of a touristy peña. We had a blast watching the different costumes of the dancers…and eventually joined the dancing!!
