What's the Deal?
This blog is my play area. I use it just to keep stuff sort of documented.
Villa Mansa
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Mansa. I wish I could grow lavender this big. We taught them to serve a pepper grinder to people from Estados Unidos.
Cooking class
We learned how to make enpanadas. And at this meal, we hit "max food." Personally, i felt full for 2 days.
Laundry
We had laundry sent out a few times, but Lisa always likes to stay caught up with clean clothes.
Olive oil tasting
While we were on our wine tasting tour, we asked if the trees we were seeing were olive trees. They are, and the tour leader was excited about our interest. She set up an olive oil tasting before our cooking class. It's an established oil-making farm with a new shop...
Pan America motorcycles
I was locked out of my blog for a few frustrating days. It said it didn't trust someone trying to log in from Argentina, so it wanted me to log in and approve the log in. But it wouldn't let me log in to approve it... because I'm Argentina. When I get caught up in...
Wine tasting tour
We visited two wineries a few miles from our hotel. The conversation, lunch, and wines were outstanding. We also discovered Mendoza olive oil! This is Durigutti winery.

In the Tierra del Fuego National Park, we got our pasports stamped at the "End of the World" post office.
Ushuaia
We rented a car in Ushuaia to go in and out of the city twice. One of the rules on the rental car agreement was "cars going downhill or uphill always have the right of way for cars on the horizontal." That was very confusing to me, but it was always observed on the...
Last night in Ushuaia
We had pizza, Lisa got to sit in a church, and we had the world's most confusing hotel lock.
Beavers
Beavers were introduced to Tierro del Fuego in 1946 to attempt to start a fur industry. The effort failed for various reasons, but the beavers flourished. They are now creating massive destruction in the forrests, which can't recover like north american forrests,...
Museum of marine mammals
On the Harberton ranch, there is a museum of marine mammals. It was founded by the mother of the current owner, Aby. Some of these skulls are not marine mammals.
Estancia Harberton
In Tierra del Fuego, we rented a car and drove about 2 hours out of town, on to dirt roads, to the Harberton Ranch. It lies on the east mouth of the Beagle channel. Looking out of the channel, there is an island in the middle. To the left of the island was the...
