While in Neuquén, the family of a friend was nice enough to take me in and show me around town. Even though the recent volcano activity in South America hasn't directly struck Neuquén, there was quite a bit of ash debris- when walking around a few millimeters of ash dusted most surfaces. In addition, several people I talked with explained that they have lived in Neuquen their whole lives and never seen anything quite like this...the day after they wash their cars, they are coated in ash once again.
After my host family treated me to a traditional lunch of home-made empanadas and potato salad, we spent the afternoon playing guitar and drinking maté (very Argentinean activities) by Río Limay, which runs through the town. More information and pictures regarding the Río Limay can be found at: http://www.argentour.com/es/provincia/neuquen/rio_limay.php. Enjoy the pics!
