Córdoba!!

Flacso took us to Córdoba this weekend. Its in the middle of the country, a little north of BsAs. We took a bus this time (think nicer than greyhoud) for the 12 hour trip. It really wasn't that bad, I'm getting used to long bus rides, definitely worth the price (it's over two times as much to fly!!)

It was a really relaxing weekend and we really didn't do that much or anything really exciting... it was amazing. Everyday we went to a different place, went treking (hiking) swimming and just chilled outside. It was so nice to get away from the city and enjoy more of the nature that Argentina has to offer. The weather was amazing, hot and dry and we all came back muy bronceados (tan). :)

Our last day there was the best, there was really no set schedule at all. They bussed us about 10 min to another rancho, we all got out and chilled for a bit, then were given the option to go hiking, swimming, relax, or ride horses. I decided to start out with the horses. We all know the great horsewoman skills I have (none) and we were riding on Argentine saddles (no horn in the middle to grab on to) but we were able to go wherever we wanted to and didn't have to stay with the group. It was a lot of fun and I got to gallop...crazy. I definitely prefer bikes, I can control those.

But after the horses, we got to hike a bit, then the people from the cabañas we were stayin in made us a huge asado (BBQ) feast. There was SO much food and so many different types of food: sausage, steak, chicken, goat, lamb, kabobs, salad, tortas, etc. SO SO SO good. Then we had more free time to hike and chill and swim. Amazing. I enjoyed it, and it was very difficult to return to the city.

It really reminded me of home (again) with all the mountains, fresh air, and laid back attitude. I really enjoyed it and really didn't want to come back. But then I thought about how much I love the city and how I have no idea when I'll be in the city again... so it's good to be back :)
