Bus from Rosario, Santa Fe to Jujuy Capital, Argentina.

Another 15 or so hours to go in this bus. At least I've got a double seat...

Composing poetry of sorts in my head quite a bit these days. If it
can be called that. Perhaps travel quips/tips/thoughts would be more
apt. Oh! We're stopping! 30 min. of down (i.e., off the bus) time.
Write some quick:

Be advised in your travels:
many things drip.

Ceilings drip. Walls drip.

Taps not turned off in time drip.

Buckets drip. Bottles drip.

Loads of laundry on the line drip.

Noses drip. Eyes drip.

Shoes that slip on the mossy rocks drip.

Skinned goats drip. Happy groins drip.

Pants that dipped in the river drip.

Umbrellas drip. Birds drip.

Tents that were camped on a slope drip.

Headless hens drip. Crushed pens drip.

Ripe fruits you rip with your teeth drip.

Messy and wet and surprising, the drip.

My tip: don't let a drip ruin your trip.
