Eventos Septiembre/ Events for September 2012

Dear Friends,

It is the beginning of a new month and we have a lot to look forward to. Most of the focus is on the Oktoberfest but our beautiful town offers other events too.

Something new that hasn`t been seen here before is the figure skating event that will take place from 5 to 9 September in SUM. What an exciting event and I am definitely looking forward to take some photos. SUM is a big hall where many events take place and I am curious to see how the cement floor will be transformed. I have never been to a figure skating event, this is quite exciting!

For all the art lovers out there. Don`t miss the art exhibition that is currently taking place in the Museo Estanislao Baños in the centre. Entrance is for free and the work of many talented artists can be seen here.

Last but not least: OKTOBERFEST!!! Yes the weekend of the 28th the event will open. It is jam-packed with incredible events. Dances, ballet,music, food and lots and lots of entertainment. We are fully booked for the long weekend but we are urging people to attend the first weekend. Why? First of all the entrance to the Beer Garden is free. Second, it is much more comfortable and you don`t have to wait hours to get a beer, food to eat or to find a place to sit. Imagine the queues at the restrooms!

We still have availability if you are interested: info@tinktinkie.com or visit our website http://www.tinktinkie.com 

Saludos!

Mountain Bike Rally in Santa Rosa de Calamuchita

In one of my previous posts I wrote about the 6th annual Mountain Bike Rally that will be taking place in our pretty little town. Yesterday I saw photos on the Facebook page of the Tourist Office that a number of cyclists turned up to register for the event.

This morning I made my way down to Playa Santa Rita where the starting line was. I was running a little late and when I saw cyclists heading in that direction, I thought I was too late and missed the start. Luckily I wasn`t and it was also people who were running late like me!

It`s been such a long time since I have seen so many cyclists together. What a sight! The sirens were wailing and before I had time to pick a nice spot, the guys started to cycle past me. I didn`t stay for their return and lingered a little while longer before I headed back home.

Well done to all the cyclists who participated in the event. I hope some people grabbed some nice prices. I believe 35,000 pesos worth of prizes were up for grabs!

More photos can be seen here:

Winter in the Calamuchita Valley

Andrey and I took a walk down to the river yesterday afternoon. It was our first walk since we came back from Russia. We missed most of the winter this year and in a month from now it will be Spring. I am looking forward to that.

Unfortunately we have to get through August and the winds that are blowing. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to take a walk. No wind! But during the day is a different story. I have grown accustomed to the wind because we also have terrible August winds blowing in South Africa. Here in the valley it is a different kind of wind. It is icy!

 To get back to my walk. I love walking down to the river. It is only 300m from Hostel Tinktinkie and such a nice walk. It is still very dry but I was surprised to see that we have a lot of water in the river. We took some photos and I breathed the fresh and clean air. Roll on summer! Last night I posted this photo on our Facebook Fan Page and many of our visitors responded. I am including some of the responses here.

que hermoso!!!!!!! ya quiero volver y descanzar...

No podria poner mejor imagen, volvere asi q pueda me encanto este paraiso

I remember that bridge!

Judging from the comments, visitors have fond memories of this bridge. We hope that future visitors will also enjoy this beautiful part of Argentina!
