FIESTA GAUCHA..!!
very nice weekend here... in the land of the Gauchos... ;)went dancing at SHOW-CENTER on FRI night and in Dollartrain, Pinar de Rocha, on SAT.... both pretty nice places with some good dancers, but unfortunately also both of them are a little bit furhter away (like an hour bus-ride en el colectivo) and outside of the capital area of Buenos Aires.... HUGE THANK YOU to Yan as well for going on that rather adventures trip to RAMOS MEJIA with me..... ;) luckily we met some very nice and helpful people pointing us in the right direction.... ;)
and after I only got home very, very early yesterday morning I just had enough time to take a shower, change my clothes and have a coffee before I left again for my tour to FIESTA GAUCHA on Estancia Cina-Cina...
It's actually one of the excursions that we very often sell as part of our Argentina tour-packages.... and it was a really nice day indeed in the countryside of San Antonio de Areco.... always great to get out of this busy city for a day, or a few more... ;) and spend some time en el campo...!! :)
and even though this FIESTA GAUCHA-Tour is pretty touristy and organized and bla, I still had a very good time.... and it's certainly a tour that I will recommend to my clients in the future... ;) !! (hahha, that's all they really wanted to achieve.... of course... ;) ) so.... MISSION COMPLETED... !! I guess.... ;)
On the estancia they had some musicians playing traditional Argentine music and also did some Folklore dancing shows.... the included lunch was a HUUUUGGEE All-you-can-eat ASADO (Argentine way of BBQ) with never-ending supplies of steaks, salchichas, carne, potatoes, bread, empanadas, ensaladas, etc. etc. etc.
the food was really, really good, and we all ate lloooooaaaddss loads loads.... :)
(and the meat still didn't finish... ;)
afterwards they did another display of some typical gaucho horse-riding game - aaahhh, don't remember the name at the moment, but it's pretty much the same as Ringstechen in Ritterspielen.... ;) - before we could finally get on the horses ourselves....!!
and that's when I actually realized how much I've been missing that....!! riding horses.... aahhh - even though it was only 20mins and around some fields of the estancia, it was still a great feeling to be on a horse again and feel it galloping underneath you.... hhmmm.... a ver, if I can find some other places here where you can rent horses and go for a longer ride.... :)
really, really wanna do that again....!!
got home in the evening and very tired after a long day and a sleepless night the night before, so decided to go not to SUDACA that Sunday, but to leave it for next WED, which is gonna be really good as THU is a National Holiday here... 25th Mayo - El dia de la Revolucion del Mayo...!!
abrazos und bis zum naechsten Mal wieder.... xxx
