its too darn hot
Its 11pm in Cordoba and it must be 85F out (don´t ask me what that is ... 30C?) It is HOT. For some reason at 5:30, when I left the hotel, a running race was being run. How. On. Earth. Can. People. Run. A. Race. In. This. Heat. Cordoba, despite the heat, is kind of a neat city. It houses the oldest university in Argentina, founded by Jesuits in the late 16th century. I took a tour of it this evening, which was quite interesting. Many of the books from the original library on on display, and it is an interesting assortment --Albertus Magnus surprised me a bit, as did many works on medicine and natural history. These jesuits were manic about making money to support their cause. Tomorrow I was supposed to go for a hike in the province, but it seems to have been cancelled -- the guide needs to study for an exam. That means I have to keep myself busy until 10:30pm when I catch the bus to BA. I might try to catch a bus to Alta Gracia, the home of the Che Guevara museum. Why not?
