Provincia de Tucuman

Hola!

In our previous post we talked about the two days of trainings we had in San Miguel de Tucuman.
We had one training on Tuesday night, the day we arrived.  Our next training was to take place on Wednesday evening at 8:00 at the Tucuman West Stake building.  Because we had all day Wednesday free, Axel suggested that we take some time and head into the mountains to see the Inca ruins from the 1500's and also see some mountain villages and enjoy the fresh mountain air. We left early in the moring and headed out! On Thursday morning, before taking off for the airport at 2:00 pm, we saw some other sites around San Miguel de Tucuman, including the "el Monumental Cristo Bendicente" which was situated very high above the city.  We also learned that San Miguel de Tucuman is the place where Argentina received it's independence on "el 9 Julio de 1816"!  We had a wonderful day and embraced every moment.  Osmar and Axel were amazing guides  and while driving around in the car, we were able to talk and get further insight into our training sessions.
