Month: August 2012

Winter in the Calamuchita Valley

Andrey and I took a walk down to the river yesterday afternoon. It was our first walk since we came back from Russia. We missed most of the winter this year and in a month from now it will be Spring. I am looking forward to that.

Unfortunately we have to get through August and the winds that are blowing. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to take a walk. No wind! But during the day is a different story. I have grown accustomed to the wind because we also have terrible August winds blowing in South Africa. Here in the valley it is a different kind of wind. It is icy!

To get back to my walk. I love walking down to the river. It is only 300m from Hostel Tinktinkie and such a nice walk. It is still very dry but I was surprised to see that we have a lot of water in the river. We took some photos and I breathed the fresh and clean air. Roll on summer! Last night I posted this photo on our Facebook Fan Page and many of our visitors responded. I am including some of the responses here.

I remember that bridge!

Judging from the comments, visitors have fond memories of this bridge. We hope that future visitors will also enjoy this beautiful part of Argentina!

Hostel Tinktinkie Events for August

August is an exciting month for us at Hostel Tinktinkie! It is time for a Rally again and sport enthusiasts will love the `Rally Regional de Trapadas`that is taking place on 11 and 12 August in our beautiful valley. Two days of adrenaline,dust and a lot of action! Argentinians love Rallies and I am sure there will be a lot of people attending the shows.

On 29 August the very popular band `La Barra` will be in Santa Rosa de Calamuchita. They are regulars in the Calamuchita Valley and have a huge group of followers. Be sure to book early and rock the night away!

On a more personal note: Andrey and I are still in Russia and we will be flying home within the next two weeks. Another week for us in Kaliningrad and 3 days in the beautiful Moscow before we make the gruesome journey of 5 days back to Argentina!
