Córdoba!

So the other weekend we went to Córdoba. We did all the normal stuff. Sightseeing, night life, Jesuit plantations, OCTOBER FEST. Yeah so it was all crazy and fun. I really like the artisan fair,there are so many here and all the crafts there are amazing. So here I am and I guess it is time to give you a picture show. 

The trip was long. I think about 7or 8 hours. Here is some of what we saw on the way there. 






Unlike Mendoza which was destroyed by an earthquake and does not have very many old buildings, Cordoba is steeped in history. 

 A church. 

 Doors
 Tile

 At the National University of Cordoba, the oldest university in the country I saw this adorable little girl.
 We took a little trip the a Jesuit Estancia, or plantation. It was so pretty 


 This tree is half lemon half orange. How cool.
 Love this pic.


 Spurs.
After we visited the Jesuit Estancia we looked long and hard for a place to eat and found the amazing little place that made fresh pastas. There was a very fun playground out back. 
 This fence with its shadows was very cool.
 Not your normal pick-nick table.
We also had a chance to go to Oktoberfest in Villa General Belgrano, it is the second biggest in Latin America. 

We past this very beautiful lake on the way.  
 We also stoped at the birth place of Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
 Pictures of when Fidel Castro came to the museum
Than it was on to Oktoberfest.
 Early in the afternoon before it got crazy.
The last day we took a walk around the city. 

We saw excited futbol (soccer) fans heading to a game. 

That is all for now. More to come.
