Pink Blue Green

This pink church is one of the oldest buildings in Salta, Argentina. The pink and white church looked beautiful glowing against the blue night sky. The tree in front is actually an orange tree.

I am a half-Argentinean New York City girl with an insatiable lust for travel. Inspired by foreign countries but in love with my hometown, I go through life daydreaming about future travel adventures, and how I will someday write a book/column called "Travels with Tavel." Catchy, isn't it? Just you wait!
