Beau et chaud aujourd’hui, 32 degrés.
Jens part travailler. Il a retrouvé ses collègues argentins avec plaisir.
Je reste à « travailler » avec le blog. J’écris toujours le jour après et hier j’ai écrit beaucoup. A midi je sors faire des courses à un petit, petit supermarché à 5 mn d’ici. J’achète du jambon, du fromage, des yaourts. Puis à une petite fruiterie à coté des fruits, puis à la boulangerie à coté le pain. Rentre, déjeune et re-travaille. Vers 3 h je décide de sortir un peu. Je vais faire un petit tour. Quelle idée! Pas un chat. La ville dort. Il n’y a que moi dehors. Et il fait une chaleur! Leçon apprise: On ne sort pas entre midi et 5h.
Quelques informations sur San Juan: 600 000 habitants, capitale de la province de San Juan. Ville oasis: tout autour c’est une vaste plaine semi-désertique. Mais grâce à la rivière San Juan et à un système très élaboré et très ancien de canaux la ville est verte. On cultive la vigne ici. La ville a été très détruite le 15 janvier 1944 par un terrible tremblement de terre. Les rues sont larges, ombragées et se croisent à angle droit. La ville est, comme beaucoup de villes sud-américaines, très contrastée. Des beaux quartiers côtoient des quartiers pauvres, on rencontre cote à cote une Mercédès et une carriole à cheval.
Un problème: Quand nous avons pris un avion plus tôt que prévu à Mendoza, la fille de LAN (la compagnie chilienne) nous a fait des nouvelles cartes d’embarcation et a annulée les anciennes. Mais ce faisant, elle a annulée tout le reste du voyage de Jens ! Il n’a plus de réservations pour la suite (Chile, Canada, USA). Moi je peux continuer. Heureusement la fille de l’agence de voyage à Bergen s’en est aperçue. J’espère que cela va s’arranger.
Jens rentre vers 5h30 et nous allons faire des courses, pas vers le centre cette fois mais vers son Institut. On achète un saladier et du produit à vaisselle. On a une chambre, une petite cuisine et une salle de bain. Donc on peut faire un peu de cuisine. Mais on a seulement 2 assiettes, 2 verres … On rentre et on se fait une salade de tomates plus quelques bricoles et on va pique-niquer dans le jardin de l’hôtel. Je me suis enduite de produit à moustiques.
Nice and warm today, 32 degrees.
Jens goes to work. He works again with his Argentine colleagues with pleasure.
I am still "working" with the blog. I always write the day after, and yesterday I wrote a lot. At noon I go shopping at a small, small supermarket within 5 minutes from here. I buy ham, cheese, yoghurt. Then a small fruit store next to buy fruit, then the bakery next to buy bread. Go back, lunch and more work. Around 3 pm I decide to get out. I'll will walk a little. What an idea! Not a soul in the streets. The city is asleep. There's only me out. And it's hot! Lesson learned: You do not go out between noon and 5am.
Some information about San Juan: 600 000 inhabitants, capital of the province of San Juan. Oasis town: all around is a vast semi-desert plain. But thanks to the river San Juan and a very elaborate and old system of canals the city is green. Vines are grown here. The city has been much destroyed the 15th of January 1944 by a terrible earthquake. The streets are wide, shaded and intersect at right angles. The city is, like many South American cities, very mixed. Fine houses alongside poor neighborhoods, and we can find side by side a Mercedes and a horse-drawn cart.
One problem: When we flew earlier than expected in Mendoza, the girl at LAN counter (Chilean air company) gave us new boarding cards and canceled the old ones. But in doing so, she canceled the rest of the journey for Jens! He has no reservations for the rest of the journey (Chile, Canada, USA). I can continue. Fortunately the girl in the travel agency in Bergen has noticed it. Hopefully it will be fixed.
Jens comes home at about 5:30 pm and we go shopping, not toward the center but this time toward his institute. We buy a bowl and detergent. We have a bedroom, a kitchenette and a bathroom. So we can do some cooking. But we have only 2 plates, 2 glasses ... We make a salad of tomatoes and a few things and we picnic in the garden of the hotel.
