Geography Lesson- The Giant's Bellybutton

I've fallen in love with Google Earth. Sometimes when I am feeling homesick I can get on Google Earth and retrace steps. Their 3-D views are amazing, as can be seen with the above picture. What are you looking at? When my sister and I were little we would always look for the giant's bellybutton on the road between Tilcara and Huacalera (where my family has a cabin). The bellybutton is a huge hole in the side of the mountain, most likely created by water flowing though there. I've only been up there once, when I was a lot younger. It's cool because you can walk into the hole and actually get under the ledge quite a bit. These hills are great for exploring since there aren't too many people around. I'll be posting more photos from Google Earth as time goes on.

A picture of a drawing of me

Me, age 18, drawn by a hippie using chalk. This happened the 9 of July, 2005 in Salta, Argentina. I hadn't dyed my sideburns green yet, and I was about to go to the United States of America in August.

Brutal Honesty?

I can't tell wither this cartoon shows an Argentina that is sinking or floating and becoming more buoyant. I know what the artist wants to show...but heck, I might as well analyze it, no? Argentina's economy has actually been improving in the past few years since Kirchner took the presidency. Maybe Argentina is sinking because of our loss in the world cup? Could it be that Argentina is sinking due to global warming (we have claims in Antarctica)? Whatever is happening, it looks as if everyone has left for Italy or Spain and have left that poor Porteño to hold on for dear life. :)
