Bueno guys, i´m sorry if this text is gonna be a bit shorter than the previous ones. Caro and me have just spent the last 4 hours trying to upload pictures, I wrote a 3-page text for the blog, saved it on the pc and then it crashed. I nearly cried to be honest, cos we´ve been on the road for 10 days now, have a lot of stories to tell and within a few seconds all the text is gone.
but anyway, here comes a quick summary:
our departure from finca vinaco was delayed by a few days cos artillera was hurt while getting new ´shoes´. so finally we spent 4 days with the carcales family, pitched our tents in the barn and had an amazing time, being invited for numerous meals, inlcuding a mini-fiesta organised for us and went for small cabalgatas during the day. on sunday then it was finally time to leave and what a good bye it was: the whole family gathered together, a bottle of local cider was opened and we were sent on our way with lots of best wishes and good lucks. even tears flowed and all that after just 4 days! 3 of the gauchos from finca vinaco joined us for the first few hours and just 40m after leaving the house the first mishap occurred: the 10-l-water container which we had so cautiously tied to the pack mule tumbled down and people were in tears. ;o) tourist gauchos! ;o)
the 3 gauchos followed us to chicoana, there we had a bottle of beer, some empanadas and the 2nd goodbye of the day followed...and los siete were on their own...
