June 30 and July 1 were historic days here in Tucuman, Argentina! Seven Latin American presidents met here to discuss policies and how to work together for the betterment of Latin America. I downloaded the above picture from our local newspaper. The presidents of Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile, Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil are standing in front of the "Casa de Tucuman" the famous house where Argentina's Declaration of Independence from Spain was signed in 1816. Tucuman was the original capitol of Argentina in the 1800's.
