The boys were supposed to have a game but due to a rainy night and foggy morning it was cancelled. We are just packing up and getting ready for the trip home. We´ll be doing some last minute shopping with the team and going to the airport. We should arrive back in MN and the heat about 10 am tomorrow! Thanks for reading!

It contained antiques, crafts, clothing and jewelery. We also had our fairwell dinner where we learned how to do our own Argentine barbeque and had some of the best meat cuts of the trip.

Connie, Sandy and Christie took a ferry to Uraguay, Brian, Kirk and David went to the natural reserve by the river leading into the ocean, Theresa and Nancy went shopping and Morgan and I warmed up in the sauna. After dinner at an Italian restaurant we stopped for a drink at a pirate bar.

We went to La Bonita, a cowboy (gaucho) ranch. The gauchos ruled the countryside until the 1900s when people started putting up fences.
