Salta 2

After briefly walking around the city to orientate myself, I did very little all day other than lunch with Dave on the main square.

Salta´s rich history, colonial architecture, surrounding natural attractions, and friendly locals make the small city a main attraction for tourists, although now we were heading into the off-season, so fewer foreigners crowded the streets.

In the evening, Dave, Mina, Rich, Lia, Kerry and I headed to a nice restaurant on Balcarce, where I had a delicious Bife de Chorizo covered with tomatoes and melted mozzarella, and we shared an excellent local Malbec, before the girls went home and the three of us headed out into the city to `scout out´the nightlife for the following night, Mina´s birthday.


As it turned out, it was great fun, including the Bowling Pub, some live local music, a few shots off disgusting Fernet Branca (Argentinians drink it with Coke), before meeting a couple of local girls, going to a late night/early morning bar, getting a taxi back to the hostel, and picking up a foul burger from the street stall. All in all, a quality night out.
