a trip to the Argentine Pampa marked by a childhood scar

Let’s understand the reason for this travel that led to this need to travel to the center of the world and where living life will take you at this time. We know how our days go because your request is in response to your friend’s request to tell her impressions of the trip, which somehow justifies that the narrative is present fragmented and brings the double dimension of the epistolary story so that he could discuss his observations about the territory of the Pampeans.
