The heart throbs and the pulse races, we are surrounded by fire consuming and making fuel of any new shoot intent on bland staid endeavours. This fire is all consuming, bubbling unseen below the surface of every daily act akin to the eternal grinding movement of the earth below. We are where the earth literally […]
As the saying goes, today is a new day and the travelling day to be forgotten is all behind us leaving us to get out and see yet another place on this journey. What to say about Cafayate? Well to be honest we don’t really know, this journey north is more unplanned than usual and […]
