What adventures we had in this country. Unlike we've never experienced before. A wee recap of the best memories...
Mate: How I will miss seeing the Argentinians sipping on their mate while carrying around a thermos of hot water to top up their tea. PS: love that Argentinians travel around their own country. The biggest tourist group we came across.
The Tango: I've finally been educated in this incredible dance. Wow.
Patagonia: Wow. Wow. Wow. Expansive space, history, colour. Even better viewed from horseback.
Perito Moreno: A stunning and awesome sight to behold.
Dulche de leche: Nector of the Gods. More caramelly than condensed milk and eaten from the spoon, used in cakes, bread, muffins, ice-creams. Yum. Get your hands on some. The mama's milk of every true Argentinian!
The Andes: if you ever have the need to feel 'insignificant', drive through The Andes. Their range of colour, immensity will leave you breathless.
The people: warm, generous, kind. What a wonderful group of people we came into contact with.
The meat: Yep. Pretty damn good and oh so very cheap.
Malbec: Originating from French meaning 'bad mouth', I can assure you that the Argentinians have perfected this fabulous red wine.
The 'willy willies': Little twirly dust storms that self created, twirled and disappeared in the desert.
The roads: Appalling yet fun. Many we never drive on them again.
