Gauchos


Today we visited an Estancia (a gaucho ranch) a couple hours outside the city.  It was touristy, but it was cool nonetheless.  We had a pretty traditional/typical argentinian meal (empanadas, wine, salad, bread, meat, meat, meat, more meat, flan, coffee, more dessert, and mate) and watched traditional folk dancing.  We also watched some of the gauchos do their thing and rode in horse carriages around the estancia.  It was a long day, but it felt really good to get away from the city for a little bit.
