From the hospital to the church

Another day of surprises! Following the not very large road (sometimes I didn´t want to think if the local bus will appear in front of me in the next curve!), one could clearly see 2 different types of landscape on the right and left. Desertic red on the right and green, rich (because of the river) left side.

The rich and the poor

The story of the day is that I was stopped by a oncoming car asking if I was going to Cafayate. These people met 2 sick german tourists on the side of the road trying to go to the next town with a doctor (hospital). I found them some 20 km after I met this people. They were still there waiting (4 hours waiting they said without having seen anybody going my way. That gives you the amount of stupid people like me travelling here.). Stupid I felt too because now I had to speak german the next 75 km on the way to Cafayate to bring the food poisoned (they say ?!?) tourists back to civilisation. More stupid, they were from Frankfurt (the city I was trying to forget about because of the last 2 years project I was working in). Grrrrr. Hate that.
After that (und tschuss!), I decided to not stay in Cafayate (where I was already on my way north) and stopped before the night arrived in Hualfin.
(IMG62 3)There I found the best house to stay with an old lady (Nona) that was taking care of me like her son. I was the first french here she said. The other reason why I stopped there is because this village, in the middle of nowhere have a very interesting church that was built in 1770. Have a look.
