....but wouldnt wanna live there. Everyone there is welcome to get his own slice of the american dream; and its admitedly not a bad place to start. This city is the center of the materialistic world. Alas, i am a small town boy from the country and at the end of the day, the concrete jungle does nothing for my senses.

it was on the way from the argentinian border headed to potosí. This town was an unplanned stop along the way and a most unexpected and pleasant surprise as an introduction to bolivia. The town is relatively clean, colorful, and the climate rules compared to the more popular and more heavily traveled altiplano region of bolivia.

was in a breezy field near salta. it was a great experience albeit nowhere near what i expected for paragliding. I thought we´d be jumping off one of the mountains that surrounds this interesting city, but instead we were lifted off the floor of a valley plain tethered to a cable attached to a land cruiser that pulled us across the valley in order to move the parachute enough to create lift. once we reached an interesting altitude i released the tether and floated back to valley floor.
