Pix from Argentina
 

I'm limiting this to ten or so... out of the 900 we took. And to just pix from Patagonia, which was so beautiful it hurt to leave.

Several have horses in them. The little tacked-up guy was my mount on a day ride out to a glacier. A crillo (creoso?), named Barrilito.

My favorite anecdote from the ride- when we were assigned horses, one of the women, who was 50 and had never been on a horse before, worriedly inquired about her mount, "Il est gentil?" (French for "Is he nice?") Our guide cheerfully reassured her, "He is almost dead."

Anyway, here are pix, for anyone who wants to look at them.

Part two, of horses and Lake Viedma:

And the last ones.

GR: Breathtaking shots of areas....why did you go....vacation?

Um....shall I be the one to break the news to Todd that I AM GOING next year with you???? Or do you want to let him down easy?:o

pics are breathtaking Nicole...wow

We went for our honeymoon, Timm... 18 months after we got married (I am a world-class procrastinator). Two weeks- we saw a bit of Patagonia, Buenos Aires and hopped the hydrofoil to Uruguay for a day in Colonia. In over eight years together, it was our first trip together that didn't involve seeing family.

Kev, I think Todd's going to want to come along next time, too, but I imagine I can find a cute female friend (or two) to tag along so you won't feel like a third wheel. :) Or just trust you'd meet a dozen (at least) on your own in Buenos Aires... heh heh heh.

Glad you like the pictures!

ummmkay....talked me into it:cool: Tell Todd thanks:D

Glad you two made it home safe.

GR: COOL! Congrats on your honeymoon trip. An adventuress? BTW..I thought Kev was taken???:eek:

Genuine Risk,
Spectacular!
Thanks for sharing.

nope:cool:

Dude??!! Sorry...I thought things were working out!

Oh, I forgot to mention-- "The Simpsons" is HUGE over there. Huge. Tshirts, posters, buttons, magnets. I bought my brother a tshirt of a shirtless Homer showing off a tattoo of Che Guevera. Pretty funny.

Argentina is so wonderful, such a beautiful place.. Ive never had steaks like the ones there - unreal... And Colonia in Uruguay is such a gorgeous spot as well, so scenic... I wish I was back there now..

Kev, is there anywhere you HAVEN'T BEEN??:D

slowly getting everywhere..

I'm envious bro....I have been to 33 of the 50 States...but very few places outside of the states..

You aren't kidding about the steaks... I'm not much of a meat eater but when I travel all rules are off and the steaks were out of this world. I'm done with corn-fed beef; it's an abomination after what I had in Argentina. I also had sweetbreads for the first time in my life, and must admit, they were quite tasty.

And never thought I'd find myself a coffee drinker, but I had it black, no sugar while I was there. Oh, so good....

Colonia was great-- it was there that one of the waiters shared his yerba mate with me. I liked it.

GR...your pictures are beautiful! looks like quite a trip...glad you guys had fun.

That's still pretty well-traveled, Kev! I know people who have never left the Eastern Seaboard.

I've been to 41 of the 50. Fortunately, a friend just moved to Colorado, so that gives me an excuse to go visit and knock it off the list. Alaska and Hawaii will take some work, I think...

Ive been to 15 I think..not bad for a foreigner!

not at all...outside of the states, I have been to Mexico City, Bahamas and Canada..

Ireland is number one my list of countries to visit.

It was a lot of fun. Highly recommended, though maybe not going along with a sap like me, who burst into tears as soon as we came within sight of the Moreno glacier. I got much teasing from my husband on that one... :)

I'm not much of a sap but nature is more likely to move me to tears than just about anything else;)

you are capable of tears????:eek:

well...something like tears anyway...:D

allergies are your best chance...:p

As opposed to me, whose Native American name would be, "Cries at Drop of Hat."

Either that or, "Can Never Find Keys."

GFY...I know if all else fails I can at least make YOU cry:eek:

talking about Sarah would be the only thing....so GFY:p

yeah ok...keep telling yourself that.

Genuine,

Glad to see you are back and had a great time! Those pics are BEAUTIFUL!

LOL...see tol' you :D

OH and Kev,

I have a beautiful friend looking for a nice guy. Ya coming to FL for the FL Derby? She is planning on going to the track with me.... :) You are someone I would definately like her to meet.

is she married? cause those are the kind that like Kevin:eek: :D :eek:

NO BLIND DATES...NO BLIND DATES:eek: :eek:

although if she is blind, that may improve my chances somewhat:D

no sh*t....the single ones take NO interest in me at all...:o

Hey, I met my hubby on a blind date. My mom met my dad on a blind date. My best friend met her hubby on a blind date (that I set up for her). There is nothing wrong with blind dates. :)

that's just because you are so fussy about the no beard thing.

She has never been married. Thought she had found the right guy a couple of years ago, but turned out to be Mr. WRONG instead.
