Day 28(Feb 1)- Buenos Aires, Argentina

Today Jennifer and I went to a Gaucho Performance at an estancia (ranch) about an hour bus ride from the port. The horses were amazing and we had a Brazilian BBQ meal and a Tango/Milonga show.

I got to ride a carriage around the ranch- it was cool to see the ranch but the carriage was very uncomfortable.

When I got back from the carriage ride, I was one of the last ones the owner took on a horse back ride- a highlight for sure!

Buenos Aires Trivia:

  • There are 3 million folks in the city and the daily commute brings in 2.5 million more. They have a terrific public transport system
  • This time of year many families are on holiday so there weren’t too many cars or people on the streets
  • Farms are the basis for the economy
