Split Second by Kasie West :Review

Split Second (Pivot Point, #2)
The sequel of Pivot Point starts with a huge gap in Addie's memories , no boyfriend and a tense relationship with her BFF. However,a trip to Dallas proves that there is also some kind of magic in Norm world where she doesn't belong due to her special abilities.

The author expresses her concerns about writing a sequel in the last pages of the book ,she fears not being able to fulfil the readers expectations. Well, the novel rises to the challenge and some parts are even more entertaining that the first one.

Split Second is all in all a very nice read with action,romance and super powers which will appeal to most YA readers.

Coca Cola Christmas Commercial

I have mixed feelings towards Coca Cola. On the one hand fizzy drinks with lots of sugar or sweetener are not healthy at all but on the other hand while you are travelling and you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, it is safer to drink a glass of coke than a glass of local tap water that may not agree with you. Anyway ,they make wonderful ads.

On the Road to Cafayate , Argentina

From Salta to Cafayate following route 68 you can find surprising rock formations . The peculiar  landscape in this area attracts many visitors and it is an unforgettable road trip.

The so-called Hill of  Seven Colours (El Cerro de los Siete Colores) is one of the popular mountains in the area.

 
 

The Devil's Throat ( La Garganta del Diablo) is another spot you cannot miss.

 
 
 
 

The Amphitheatre is worth some pictures as well.

 
 
 
 
 
 

The  gorge in this area is called Quebrada de las Conchas  or Quebrada del Cafayate and wherever you look you can find incredible shapes caused by wind erosion.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This poor llama was available there for tourists to take a picture by its side. I thought that it had a nice face and therefore I was unable to eat llama in the local restaurant we visited after the excursion.
