Moving westward













Out time in Cordoba was short and sweet. It was obvious that our guide book was out dated since we came across a bunch of areas and restaurants which were not in the book or no longer in business. The city does offer quite a few sites, so leave at least a couple of days to see everything. Jane and I had an epic day starting with seeing the condors at a national park close by. The bus dropped us off at the park entrance which seemed like the middle of nowhere. The easy hike was about 11K each way. At the end was a lookout over a deep gorge where you could see the condors fly about. We were told on some days they fly really close to you, but not today. A bunch of us waited outside the park on the side of the road where the sunset made an excellent pink, red, and orange glow. We ended our evening with dinner and a tango show. It was a great day overall.
