Pirquitas Dam and other sights

We took a little drive north of Catamarca on our P-day to see the other dam, Las Pirquitas, providing water for the city and loved the sights we saw.  We saw green fields and WATER (it's very, very, very dry here).

It was a cloudy day so the water doesn't look blue but we still thought it was very beautiful.

It was so refreshing to see so much green.  AND...it was much cooler, which was such a nice change from the 98-102^ weather we're enjoying daily in the city.  I'm not sure how cool it was but the car window didn't feel like it was in the oven. 

           

             Green is such a pretty color...
