I am still living and loving and having a blast here in Junín de los Andes. Yesterday, I went for what turned out to be a much longer bike ride than anticipated as I left the house at high noon on a very hot day to make my way towards Tay´s school high up in the mountains. The idea was that I would meet him as he made his way home and then catch a ride back in his car. However, he ended up having to give some people in the community a ride back to town, so there was no room for me and my bike. So I turned around and biked much of the way home before he came back to get me. A bit longer adn more challenging ride than what I was planning for, but I cant exactly complain. Other than the attack of the Argentinian locust half way through the ride, it was all quite gorgeous. And once rescued by the support vehicle, we headed straight for the río where I drenched my hot stinky self in the crystal clear cool waters (So they were a little murkier after I jumped in) and collapsed on the shore to read and drink maté.

Relaxing and tomando maté by the río!
Im building up quite a tolerance for the stuff and actually really really loving the custom. You go anywhere and families are hanging out with their thermos of hot water and cup of tea leaves. VIVA!
