Attack of the llamas! Windstorm, indigineous infighting, and our 1st day back on our bikes after our well deserved rest day...

Ride 4 complete! 55km with beautiful scenery leaving Cafayete. Entered Tucuman province.

We departed at 1030 since it was thought to be an easy 55km, but we didnt end up getting to our destination until after 4pm, mostly due to flat tires galore caused by cactus needles. We now have to watch where we pull over in the shade, else regularly have to pull them out. We saw a llama en route and it sniffed all of us, but took a particular liking to Kyle, the tallest guy in the group.(see fb pics!)  Tried to do an extra ride to the ruins of quilmes with half he group but it was closed due to political tensions with indigenous ppl. Bad windstorm on the way back but it was only 3km so we survived. Will be having llama empanadas tonight and some humitas too.

The next two days will be tough. Hoping to finally get some sleep tonight.
