Stand Up

Late last night* the Argentine people united to send a message to president Kristina Kirchner : "Please talk with us!" In Buenos Aires alone there were thousands banging their pots and pans trying to be heard by the national government. There has been a deadlock between the farmers and the national government for about 90 days concerning the high export tax. Due to the highways being cut by the farmers, I have been unable to get out of Buenos Aires by bus. I guess I'm going to have to fly out on Thursday and spend the weekend in Cordoba.

*Yes, I did partake in the demonstrations. I should have some videos uploaded to youtube soon.

We're praying that you eventually get up to Jujuy. We'll be waiting for you with hugs, Mom's cooking, long chats and doing fun things together. Yay! In the meantime, enjoy visiting your amigos in Buenos Aires and in Córdoba. The situation that's holding us up from going very far away at this moment is the lack of fuel for the pickup but let's plan a trip to somewhere ....perhaps to Cafayate? Oh, well. We're in the same boat as everyone else in Argentina. Food is still plentiful so don't worry about losing any weight. Ha! Ha!
Chau and......see ya soon!
