Oh my what style you have

The Argentinians are known for their style sometimes like Alexis (obviously group picture far left) , and sometimes it is only their eccentricities that take over any style that will leave you with you scratching your head.

The pictures of the daytrip was my introduction to the Argentinian country. To get you into the mood of the day, I was still getting over my events of Peru or somethings that had decided to attach for my trip back to Argentina so running around in the paddocks in this case wasn't for me. However I usually do like to go country. The place we visited was the family farm of Nadie (the girl second of the right in the picture above) in an area of the town called Rojas. I was packed off into a car with porteños drinking mate for around 3 hours. I have a taste for mate these days but it really makes you want to go to the bathroom - a lot, and the bathrooms were few and far in between for such a diuretic. My holding in muscles got a work out. In Peru I became somewhat of a vetran of holding on for long bus journeys. To date the personal record was held from Cusco to Lima, a 19 hour bus journey only going once when we stopped off nowhere but a concrete shed makeshift baños for all which smelt of vomit and urine. People were actually brushing their teeth eek an awful flashback and an odd tangent from my story. So lets get back to Argentina.

The intention of the trip was for the guys to do some filming of a multimedia background for a dance production (coming to England!!!). It is always interesting to me to watch filiming. In particular how someone has an eye for the perfect shot or will see some detail that I know my eye would not pick up. The farm was similar to those around the world. It had loads of big toys that you would expect to find in most working farms and the odd carcass of an animal that was being prepared for lunch hanging on the vernada. This place was very interesting. For me probably would have been better to avert my eyes from the veranda. But I still managed to hold for the fantastic food and more importantly the lemon pie and red wine - is there a bad red wine in Argentina?

An important lesson learnt on this trip was the common ground shared between the Antipodeans and Latinos of a good song which must be played over and over. Inclusive of air musicians and loud singing.

The country is beautiful and made me a little nostalgic given it was very much like Australian landscape. I was in slight envy given that these guys were working. What a great job. At one point though the sound guy had to run behind the car while they were taking film of the landscape of the farm, and unfortunately got slightly entangled in the wire to the camera, professionally he untangled himself and still managed to keep up with the speed of the car. bueno. After our long day, well my long day of peeping around big toys and beautiful landscapes, we stopped off into town for a beer and made our way back into Buenos Aires.
