| Ready for lunch! |
For a change of pace, we left Buenos Aires and went into the country to visit a estancia, which is a Argentine ranch. We loved getting some fresh air and seeing the open sky! Right away when we arrived we were greeted with empanadas and wine, which were both delicious. Later we got to ride horses and explore the ranch on our own. Our lunch was a feast! After having soup and salad, we were given all different kinds of meat to try--Argentine beef is famous for a reason!

During the "lunch" we got to see several dances, like some tradition and some tango. The musicians sang songs from each country represented by the people who were visiting, from Colombia to Russia to England! For the U.S. song, they invited our group to come to the stage to sing a song we all knew, so we sang the Doxology in harmony! It was a wonderful experience!
After spending more time relaxing in the fresh air, we left to return to Buenos Aires. Tomorrow many of us are visiting some markets and fairs here in the city.
Thanks for keeping up with us! We hope all are enjoying the summer in the U.S.!
Chao!

An idea: The students on the immersion trip should practice Argentinian dances, and then put on a dance demonstration for the folks back here. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe are learning tango last week! But no promises on how well we'll do :)
