Salta - Our 1st Argentinian city

Salta is a large lovely city, with great weather, and a real mediteranian feel. We sat in the plaza having brunch and reading an English paper from Buenos Aires. It felt great. We spent our first night in an Irish bar with an Irish lad called Gordon. Although we had full intentions of going out for dinner, we stayed on, and enjoyed his company. Argentina in renowned for its fantastic steaks. But unfortunately we dipped out our second night, ate somewhere dodgy on the plaza, and poor Ian ended up with a custard sauce (that was supposed to be curry) and mine was jellyed gravy. Bad! We took the cable car to the viewpoint of the city. It was a lovely area of green grass and a manmade water fall. Quite pleasant, apart from ordering for the second time on this day some crappy cheese and incredibly sweet jam and prunes. Not my idea of a nice snack. Although there are many things, in Spanish, on a food menu that we do know what they are, of course there are others, that we have no idea, and when we don´t have the phrase book, it´s a bit of a point and hope for the best!
