Leaving for Salta

Leaving for Salta tonight for 5 days! Salta is in Northern Argentina about 12 hours from córdoba, and borders Bolivia and Paraguay. We went through a travel agency for this trip because there are a lot of places to cover-Juyjuy, Tucumán, el centro- and because it's semana santa (holy week) here and reservations are hard to get. In Argentina, everyone travels during semana santa. Today Graciela told me about this 'holy' woman who lives on a mountain in Salta. Esta mujer vive en un montaña/cerrito arriba de la ciudad y afirma que puede ver/hablar con la virgen María. --She claims she can see visions of Mary and thousands of people from all over Latinoamerica/world take pilgrimages to visit her and some people say she heals. I don't know how much i believe this but I'm definitely going to ask the guide.

hasta luego
