I woke up after a very cold night and had breakfast. I bet you can guess what I had. I then showered and got my bag packed. I took a cab to the bus terminal. I decided to try to go back to Buenos Aires in time for the bicentennial celebrations. I bought a ticket to Tucuman with the hope that I could move up my ticket that is suppose to leave Wednesday. After waiting for my bus, we departed. I read more of my Isabel Allende book and listened to music while on the road.
Like most things in Argentina, nothing is on time. Had my first bus been on time, there is a chance I could have made the bus back to Buenos Aires today, but nope. But the positive thing is that I won´t lose money on the ticket and can leave tomorrow getting me back Tuesday morning in time for whatever Argentina has in store for Tuesday night. I figured that I have seen a lot on this trip, and plan to come back to see more. But how more chances will have to experience something like this. No regrets.
I am now in a hostel for the night.

On the Road
5-22-10
I woke up and grabbed breakfast. Again, it consisted of tea and toast. I then packed my bags up and headed out the door. Luckily, I headed out when I did, because my bus was pulling out when I showed up but I was able to get on. The ride to Humahuaca was a pretty one but I barely made it to my second bus. I actually didn´t but made one that left right after. This bus ride was somewhat stressful because it often was driving near the cliffs. But I survived. After 2.5 hours or so, I got to Iruya. It was a pretty hillside town. I took some pictures and ate llama milnesia for lunch. I then walked around and took some photos, including some of condors.
I then got back on the bus to head back. Besides the stress of driving along the edges, I gave myself a minor panic attack worrying that my bags, especially the one with my passport and wallet would fall off and be loss. When we reached a pit stop, I checked and it was fine. I moved that bag down with me. When we got off the dirt road and headed back to the paved road, we got a flat so it took like 10 minutes or so to fix.We eventually got back to Humahuaca. There I made my decision about where next to go. I chose Jujuy because it was close and easy to get to Cachi, my plan destination for tomorrow. I waited for a bit for my bus. Then I got on. I pretty much listened to music the whole way. I have arrived to Jujuy. We shall about me trying to get to Cachi.
