We got to sleep in today. We left at 10:00 for a full day Gaucho party at a typical Argentine estancia (ranch) about an hour and a half outside of the city. The Santa Susana ranch is working agricultural farm and breeds cattle and horses. Our activities were typical and atypical – a wagon ride, herding horses and a competition of riders racing to skewer a ring the size of your finger using a stick called a pistole at full gallop. The atypical – visiting a museum in the original farmhouse, getting a demonstration of the proper way to brew “mate” an Argentinean tea. Finally, no campfires meal for us – a sit down smorgasbord of roasted meats et al. with fine wines.
