Mountains beyond mountains - Back in the city!

I'm back in Buenos Aires! Back to "reality". Bleagh. But this past week has been quite fun (if not particularly educational after all). I've been in the province of Jujuy in the north of Argentina for six days!
So, six days is a long time, and there's no way I'll be able to fit in/remember everything we did, but I'll give it a go.
Anyways, all 90 students and staff met up at school early Thursday morning to head off. Everybody loaded the massive piles of luggage onto a double-decker omnibus and we left.
We had a nice (please, notice my sarcasm) thirty one hour ride, most of which I spent listening to music and reading a magazine I had bought just a little before we set off and finally, after 1609 km we arrived in the province of Jujuy.
The hotel was located in the town of Tilcara. It's a cute little village, really. Few people but some beautiful scenery. We stayed in there in little cabañas all arranged for us.
The first day in Tilcara we did nothing. I mean, as we arrived late we put off the tour we were supposed to have. So we make the most of the situation and took a shower, arranged our stuff, took some photographs, etc. (I have lots of photos to show you, hope you don't get bored lol.)
The next days were exhausting, really really exhausting. We spent the whole four days walking and walking through mountains and valleys, we almost got burnt by the sun, water didn't seem enough... It was also much more difficult to breathe at that altitude: I got winded just from climbing up a few meters! We ended up knackered.
But I think the refuge day was the worst of all. The place was freezing. Icy wind fail. It was a pretty view but we were too busy huddling together for warmth to be able to appreciate it.

But anyway, you know? I had nice days after all, culture in there is very interesting, the landscape is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen...
Yeah, I had been there thousands of times but this one was very different, it made me appreciate a lot those places.

Ok, so since this has been super long, I'm just going to end this blog post. Believe me when I say this took me a long time to write, my English is not so good and I've put in a lot of effort so if there's a mistake, please correct me.

Oh and if you wanna see the pictures, here you are: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2067126&id=1229765575&l=75b479a119

Hope you missed me :P I'll write again soon.
Lots of love
