The train made its second and last stop in San Antonio. Here, too, people were selling souvenirs, including small kids that tried to hawk nicely formed stones they had found. San Antonio did not appear to be a particularly wealthy place. An interesting observation is that the despite that we were 3700 above sea level, it was not cold, but quite warm and cosy in the sunshine

And then it was announced that in homage to those who had built the railway, there were to be a ceremony by the railway station where they hoist the Argentine flag. That wouldn't happen in Sweden.
