We spent 7 days in Salta, a northeastern city in Argentina.  We absolutely loved the beef, especially the lomito sandwiches (steak sandwiches) that go for about 3$ for a foot long.  The city was by far the most fast paced we have been so far, no stop signs, very few lights and no lines on the roads, simply a free for all.  The first hostel we stayed in we met some really nice locals that took us out downtown twice; once a 7 am finish the other 4:30 (you don’t even go out until 2:30).  Lots of fun and pretty much the same as a club in Vancouver other than no cover.  The actual city was nice with a park in the centre, the pedestrian only streets were really cool; defiantly reminded us of Granville street.  The second hostel we stayed at was a little more boring but still really nice, an old home built in 1900.  Now were off to Arica (19th of may) in the morning (a 24 hour bus ride)!
