(Also please note, the Estancia (ranch) is in fact in the middle of nowhere – a 6 hour horseback ride from the nearest dirt road that is another 3 hours from town. Electricity? No. Running Water? No. Television? No. Highspeed DSL internet connection capable of uploading hi-resolution images of estancia life? Definitely not…. What I am trying to say here is that this travel blog on Argentina will be blank, yep. Nothing zilch nada….until I get back and fill in all of my stories and photos and juicy details etc.. So please, for now, just imagine and choose your own adventure.)
A few days until lift-off
The last week or so in my final countdown for departure has shown me a bit of turmoil. After not having heard back from the ranch in over a month to confirm that ‘todo bien’, I decided to create a plan B, C, D, and E. My Chile trip has taught me to release all expectations, plan ahead and get on with it. I invited my best friend Mark to enjoy a bit of traveling with me, and unfortunately he cannot make it – which comes as quite a bummer. I also looked into Wwoof volunteering on organic farms, going on an expedition up Aconcagua (22,300 feet), and a short “cruise” to Antarctica, but……. the ranch did finally get in contact with me, so I am back at square one. Stetson: check. Pearl Button Shirt: Check. Leather Gloves: Check. Boots: Check. Slight (fake) Southern Lilt: Check. Off I go.
