Cardboard Desks, Coffin Interiors and Boxes Oh My

   One of the Rotarians of San Salvador of Jujuy is a partner in a cardboard factory. He was happy to give us the skinny. An entire desk was made of cardboard. Tucamon of Jujuy is the number one exporter of lemons in the world and they make the boxes for them.
They also make cardboard for coffins.       They make 35 to 40 tons of cardboard (for a hundred different companies) a day and corn is in their glue.
    I liked how they gave us a little coffee. Fortunately, this is common practice at most of our tours (factories, schools, libraries). We are blessed a lot with caffeine and cookie hospitality.
   Ill be honest the partner, Hugo, was hit by a forklift hauling a role of paper at a high speed. The driver rounded the corner out of nowhere. Most fortunately, he was okay.
