Must. Blog. So many exciting things happening.
I know it's only a day since I last blogged, but I must ramble about the impressiveness of today.
So I committed the ultimate Lonely Planet sin and took an Organised Tour, from a Travel Agency (read: Satan to hippie LP travellers) and went to Cafayate via some massive gorge whose name I forget. Now. I forget the name because it was so massive and awesome and impressive and a little bit like a mixture between all the mountains squeezing their way up through the earth in Fantasia, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. To begin with all the mountains were big and covered with green things and there were all these interesting rock formations jutting out all over the place shouting YAH, WE'RE 90MILLION YEARS OLD! WHAT YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT? YOU WANNA MOVE US? NOT GONNA HAPPEN! Then after the llama that you get to take a photo with (will be added later, camera is currently in safe under-the-pillow-in-communal-dorm hiding place) everything turns into desert and the big tor rocks are all red and there are cacti and silver sand and it is most extreme and big and awesome and I stood on the side of the road going: COOL.
Then I ate goat. Which was a mistake. I advise everyone against it.
Lots of cool hip and funky people have arrived at my hostel and my room is now the room to be in with Argentinian Neurosurgeon, South African surfer/snowboarder and German literature/history of art student (who is very jealous of you, Courtney and your Sotheby's experience). Made an Austrian Phd student friend on my gorge tour and went for a drink with him this evening. Lots of intelligent conversation that I tried to contribute to convincingly: ah yes, the credit crunch was bad, very bad. And business administration? Yes. Fascinating. Tell me more, I know exactly what you mean.'
And that is all for now. Having a relaxing day tomorrow so the next blog probably won't be until I have drunk the Mendoza vineyards dry. But I will try to get some photos up of Cafayate awesomeness soon. Probably won't be getting any photos on facebook as promised because the internet here is lame. Or maybe it's facebook, I don't know x

I have moved into my lovelt flat now in Notts. Its just gorgeous and shiny and new. I have also had my first pay check and spent most of it on stuff for the flat. It just goes so quickly!!
Work is ok but very very busy and tiring. I'm trying to dstay awake tonight for as long as possible as I go into nights tomorrow night. I haven't done a night shift in over a year so I'm a little nervous. Everyone gets sick in the night.
Anyhoo much love and keep up the posts!!!

apolgies for all the typo and poor grammer I'm too tired to type carefully xx
Your photos, though incredible, look suspiciously like the American West. Are you POSITIVE you're not in Arizona?
Also, tell your new art student friend I say HI!
