10-11-2010 There is a change in the feel of the countryside since coming to Argentina. There are fences between the fields and the roads. There are lots of power cables and telephone cables by the side of the roads. The livestock do not obviousely have human tenders close by. There are quite a lot of goats, few of which were seen in Bolivia. The road is enegrally smooth and the diversions around roadworks are generally short and less of a magical mystery tour which the Bolivian ones can be.
