Hola!

The instant that Mark dropped Emily and I off at the airport we knew that he should have made the decision to come with us. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity - time with family at a wedding in a gorgeous farm in Las Pampas, Argentina with time also to explore Buenos Aires again. We learned a lesson here.

Moments from our trip...

Emily discovering "Submarinos" - a full glass of frothy steamed milk with an accompanying bitter-sweet chocolate stick to dip and stir until it melts in to chocolate Heaven.

Meeting my wonderful new sister-in-law (Emily's new Aunt) Vero at our first "all meat" dinner in Buenos Aires (there were lots of all meat dinners to come).

Vero and Family at the farm - a very lovely group of people who made us so welcome and felt immediately like family.

Watching Emily follow Diego (Vero's brother) climbing through an electric fence in to a muddy field full of nervous cows - she tried her hardest to pet one but did not succeed.

Emily discvering the farm's kittens.

Standing in the back of the pick-up truck with Emily looking out at the road ahead over the top of the cab. Driving bumpily down the dusty dirt road in the sunset and feeling like we must be on a movie set.

Seeing Vero in her dress and having to leave her room so I wouldn't cry.

Watching Con and Vero get tossed in the air by the wedding guests.

Con dancing.

Diego helping Emily make friends with the small children at the wedding - watching them play together all day even though they couldn't speak to each other.

Emily's face when Jimmy (Vero's Dad) suggested a midnight bike ride through the farm.

A moonlight armadillo hunt in the back of the pick-up truck instead.

Emily making friends with the funny deer, rabbit, kangaroo animals at the zoo.
