Nothing wrong can happen!

Villa Union, Argentina


After the yesterday´s story, today I will explain what is the Difunta correa one. It appears that from time to time you can see some small vault (hope I translated it correctly!)(capillas ou chapelle in french) on the side of the road. Difunta correa is the story that happened 150 years ago. A woman with her baby the was lost in the middle of nowhere. She died but the baby survived by drinking her milk. So, on the side of the road, when you see one of those place (that clearly say Difunta correa), you should leave a bottle of water to thank her (or somebody above :-) I don´t know for what you get. People do that also to ask for something. Check here http://www.visitedifuntacorrea.com.ar

Another one that is protecting your way. At first I read the last line too fast (validad instead of vialidad) which made me translate by "national validity" instead of "on the national territory". I was feeling safe by knowing that an authority was certifying it would not happen anything to me :-) Now I feel sad to know she will protect me only if I´m travelling in Argentina. Spanish readers! Did I get everything right?

Today I also learned that bridges have also a nationality and that London can be a nice city
