Estancia 2

Where I was staying were only satellites off the main estancia. After that first period I transferred to the main estancia for a short bit, which had less ranch and gaucho culture and a more remote Patagonia vacation getaway vibe - tourists stayed there at ridiculous rates to ride and fish. But it was still a good five hours to the nearest town. In addition to horse related work, I began a carpentry apprenticeship. There were many great volunteers here as well and a good time was had.

I'm posting this entry using an awful app which won't let me order pictures or insert them in the text, so I'll just dump a bunch at the bottom.

In whatever order you'll see the sawmill we used to get lumber for the house we were building; me getting a goat for Christmas dinner which I picked up from a gaucho an hours ride away and brought back on my lap; the Christmas dinner asado; plus a few pictures from a three day mountain trip I got to accompany some clients on, where we caught and ate trout from a lake and I took a horse swimming.
