It all started at the border as we entered Argentina from Chile in Tierra del Fuego. It was very late and soon after we did our papers "the officials" were in our home, chatting, asking questions....she in particular, of the pretty eyes, wanted to know more and more. Two days later, as we left for the national park, a letter on our windscreen with an invite. Next we drove off from Ushuaia to her parents estancia where they were waiting for us with "mate" and "torta frita". A beautiful house next to a rustic restaurant. In no time, the house was full of children and sons and daughters. A yummy BBQ, fresh salad from the vegi garden (I picked the oh so flavor! radish) and lots and lots of stories and laughs. Horses and a dream of building more; the rodeo and the golf. Ready to leave in the morning but the "cordero a la estaca" has been on the fire since 8:00 am! Is Sunday and all the family is helping in the big restaurant ...as we were too! Over rewarded by an amazing lunch, seating on the table at the "corner for the friends" space...

What an incredible place, such generous hosts! They have created the most beautiful and caring family....we really hope that one day we can give back so much love :)
