Catamarca to La Rioja: rolling hills, peaks on the horizon, wind, dust and loads of open road. We have been riding six deep for the past four days, a few nights wild camping amongst cacti and two in a beautiful oasis in Salica. Herbert and Ana run
a foundation for creative education of "Niños Indigos". They have an incredible creative space, a soccer field, barber chairs with fish shaped mirrors, a massive wood burning oven built with a oil can, a ping pong table, maps galore, an asequia running theough the kitchen and a flock of ducklings. Herbert cruises around his yard chanting "vengan, vengan, vengan, vengan" and the ducklings parade behind his heels. This place is special, worth a visit if you ever find yourself in Northern Argentina. The foundation has been around seven years but the space is very much in idea stages. Herbert and Ana look for intellectual support as much as monetary or material support - currently supported by the Argentine government but looking to hook into the international traveler network to access a greater wealth of knowledge and support.

Desde Catamarca a La Rioja: dentro de los cerritos, el viento, el polvo y mucho campo, llegamos a un Oasis en Salicas. Herbert y Ana tienen un proyecto -
La Fundación Niños Indigos. Tienen un espacio creativo para que vengan sus niños, fuera de la escuela, para participar en actividades, para divertirse, para aprender de otras maneras mas creativas - para abrir la mente. Ellos buscan ayuda intelectual,
tanto como materiales y apoyos económicos. Ahora tienen el apoyo del Gobierno Argentino pero quieren ser parte del red de viajeros internacionales para que todos los niños y los que llegan puedan compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias.
