We are on our last leg, in more ways than one. Last night we had dinner with a local family - we each went to different families. Pat´s sounded more interesting than mine, but we both had fun.
We toured BA today, which we had seen before, but still enjoyed. We went to the Fine Arts Museum which had some interesting pieces & a special exhibit of pre-Columbian ceramics from a special collection from Brazil. Then we went to a street fair. Tonight we head for a dinner & tango show. Should be fun.
Tomorrow we head for the delta area for a float trip and then to the airport.
Will write upon our return.
Ciao!

An update from Argentina
Well, we are in Bariloche, Argentina and will send along a picture from today - we have been in rain, snow & wind since we crossed into Aragentina. The trip to Southern Chile was ok. It was overcast & very windy. We visited a horse breeding ranch and watched a demonstration of Chilean rodeo. They only have one event similar to cutting cows out of herd, but it involves two huasos (not gauchos) directing a cow where they want it to go. The horses are trained to move sidways at pretty high rates of speed.- unusual. For their chmpionship they win something like a microwave or a tv. We had a nice dinner there also. We then headed to Puerto Varas. There is a picture from our bedroom window overlooking the lake. They have a great casino.
The next day we took a boat ride to Porto Puella, a very small place which is an entry point into Argentina. Many waterfalls along the way and there is a picture of one that is behind the hotel where we had lunch that I hiked up to. It rained the entire day. The trip wasn´t worth the time spent, but that´s what happens sometimes when you are on a tour.
We left Varas on Wednesday and hit snow as we started up the pass to cross into Argentina. It continued to rain, snow & bñow for the next two days. Needless to say our itinerary changed a bit. Bariloche is a sister city to Aspen and as you can & will see formm the poseted pictures it is on the south end of a huge lake surrounded by awesom mountains. You will note that they are recently snowcapped. They all say this weather is unusual for springtime, but we don´t believe them. The sun is out this morning. We are heading out to a sheep ranch which actually happens to be owned by the Gary family - small world, no?
Got to go, On to Buenas Aires tomorrow. Will stay in touch.
