Estancia

Yesterday we went on a group trip to an Estancia (Farm in Argentina). This wasn't a farm as much as a tourist attraction and museum. The farm reminded me a lot of Texas. Many of the things the Gouchos did were the same kind of things that cowboys from the U.S. do. We got to see all the cowboy items in a little museum. There were spurs, pounchos, knives, chaps and everything that the gouchos used. The workmanship on some of the items was incredible. Many of the items were made of silver and endorned with decrotive patterns by hand. The highlight of the day had to be riding the horses. I don't even know if riding these horses counts as riding. These horses knew the trail and I think they could have taken us on the trail even if we fell asleep. The trip was funn nevertheless. I hope I get a chance to ride horses again when I get back to the U.S.
