First in Spanish, then in English::
Conocimos los pueblitos “Guanaco Muerto” y “Los Leones”. Aprendimos que aunque por GPS parece que el camino connecta la ruta 38 con la ruta 60, hay que hacer “zoom”. El camino puede ser lindo, las salinas hermosas… podes llegar 90% hasta donde deberían conectarse para ver que de verdad, no se conectan, y no se puede pasar.
Encontramos con la policia en la frontera de Cordoba y la Rioja. Pobre hombre, debe ser que olvidó su billetera, o tal vez no se acostumbre al calor de la Rioja, pero nos pidió plata para una gaseosa.
Jorge manejo casi toda la noche, pasamos caminos hermosos, cruzamos una selva, y llegamos a Tafí del Valle. — in Tafí del Valle, Tucuman.

We got to know the tiny towns of “Guanaco Muerto” (translation- dead Guanaco) and “Los Leones” (the lions). We learned that even though on the GPS it looks like a little road connects two highways, you really should zoom in. The road may be gorgeous, with beautiful salt flats… you can get 90% to where the road should connect only to find that in fact, it doesn't and you can't pass. But getting ‘lost' is still fun.
We crossed a police checkpoint at the border of La Rioja and Córdoba. The police officer must have left his wallet at home or maybe he's just not used to the heat of La Rioja, because after all the routine questions, he asked us for money so he could buy a soda.
Jorge drove almost the whole night, on gorgeous roads, we crossed a jungle (amazing noises at night!!) and arrived here in Tafí del Valle
