Josh in BA

Hi everyone,
    Today I was able to go to one of the most amazing Estancias I have ever been to. It is owned by the Blaquier family, one of the oldest and richest families in Argentina. One of my best friends here Willy invited me. Our group of 12 had the whole place to ourselves.  Willy was lucky enough to grow up with the Blaquier Family. We were welcomed in by Marina Blaquier and Fico .This place is breathtaking.

You can feel it right when you pass through the gates. One thing I realized is that most Estancias are actually acres of tended gardens complete with huge lawns, fountains and statues .
We started our day with  empanadas and drinks. Continued our relaxation by laying out on lawn chairs enjoying the sun and company.

 I took a little walk around to see the  old church that had the whole family tree.

Then for the main event. The best Parrilla (Argentine BBQ)  I have ever had. All of the meat you can eat . Not only by amount but every part of the cow including tripas (the intestines) which I finally had the bolas to try for the 1st time. All in all it was a lavish day of new friends, beautiful landscape, great food and conversation.  Everything travel and new experience is meant to be.  Until next time!!

love
Josh.
