After a 16 and a half hour bus ride, Ryan and I arrived in the town of San Miguel de Tucumán, in the northwestern part of Argentina. Spring is coming slowly to Buenos Aires, but is already in full swing up here, as you can see from this picture. (It's strange to travel north and see things get greener and warmer.) Those yellow trees (called lapachin in Spanish) are right at their peak, are everywhere in town, and are absolutely gorgeous!
It felt so nice to get out of noisy busy Buenos Aires, to see a bit more of the country, to finally step out of the unique European bubble that we live in, and get a taste of the rest of the continent. And, of course, this is a part of the country known for its food . . .
