We are sitting in the courtyard at Hostel Centro http://www.hostelcentro.com.ar/cordoba.php
in Cordoba, Argentina. This is the second largest city in Arg. and the largest concentration of students in the city. The sun is shining and the air is a bit cool. The kids are doing school work and I am blogging. Ken is at Spanish class at the Able Spanish school.
We spent the morning looking at some old churches in town. Near the main plaza a group in traditional indian dress were playing panflutes and wood flutes and other wood instuments. We purchased one of there CD's for $4 usd. The quality is not great, but I really enjoy the sound of the woodwind instuments they play. The Cd has familiar songs like Titanic, The Sound of Silence, and Chicita, but played on these traditional instruments. For lunch we purchased some traditional tortes with ham and cheese and a calzones and headed back to the hostel.
Pork tonight. We have been eating red meat for days and I need a break. Steak is just so cheap. We bought ribeyes yesterday for less than $2 usd a pound. Steak is cheaper than milk or eggs. If you just ate bread and steak you could live really cheap. We also got 3 bottles of wine for less than $15 usd total. They were not great, but not bad either.
It is a quiet relaxed day after a busy weekend.
