La Cumbre Hermosa (by Kathleen )

We are now in La Cumbre which means "the summit".  It is the highest point in the area, which is around 60 km from Cordoba. It doesn't get very hot in the summer or very cold in winter so it has become a touristic town.  It is indeed beautiful.  The small mountains aside the town are lovely and since it is almost always sunny the light is beautiful.

We were met last night, when we arrived by Mike, who had a Hoosier shirt on!  He is from Indiana, went to the university there, but has lived in Argentina for over two decades. He took us to probably the best place we have stayed, a posada, recently remodeled.  Very pretty, great rooms.

This afternoon I had lunch with a couple who were each born in Hungary but as children, their families moved to Argentina.  We had a wonderful conversation and lunch after they drove me around the area.  Francisco writes about the history of civil aviation in Argentina and last year visited Wisconsin to attend the  Oshosh fly-in.  Juliana wore an Argentina in Oshosh tee shirt.  As usual, this indeed is a small world.

Tomorrow we head to Capilla de Monte but will treasure our short time in La Cumbre.
