R AND R


I'm now in a small town called Mercedes in Northeastern Argentina. I've been here for three days staying with the family above. A friend at home put me in touch with Sam, a man from back home who has been living here since 1971. Sam and his family have been great to me. When not resting by the pool or eating home cooked meals I have been learning about local history and farming practices in the area (Sam's expertise). It's really been great getting an inside view and staying with such a wonderful family so close to Christmas. I could easily stay here much longer, but I'm catching a bus south tonight to see a city called Cordoba.Photos:

maybe, just maybe you would have a chance of beating the 157 in a pool that size!

Dunno bro, it's bigger than it looks. Maybe if I was as fit as you.
