Travel day

Today we fly from Trelew, in Patagonia, to Buenos Aires, change planes, and fly up to Iguazu, in the north.
Update: it´s hot and humid here - 33 degrees C. when we arrived - we´re in the sub-tropical jungle now - the opposite of dry and cool Patagonia. There was a butterfly inside the terminal at the airport when we arrived.
Outside, one of the first things we noticed was the moist warm air, and on the trip into town, the red earth - red because of the iron oxide content. The kind that turns to slippery mud when it rains. In town, the roads that aren´t paved have rocks, so a bumpy ride, sort of like cobblestones. Tomorrow we have a full day at the Iguazu Falls.
