A taste of life at La Estancia de Cafayate.

We've had a little taste of life here at La Estancia de Cafayate, and we've decided that we like it enough to rent a house here and extend our stay by about 17 days before heading back to Buenos Aires. We had thought of going to Iguazu Falls, but we'll have plenty of time for that later. This place is very remote, and not so easy to get to, so this is the time to just extend our stay and experience life here in the comfort of a private home.

Our day today started with a walk through the vineyards and feeding the ducks at the lake by the golf course (the largest golf course in South America; unfortunately I don't have time to play). We then ate a nice lunch in our back yard; put the kids down for a nap; woke them up to take them swimming at 4:30; came back for baths at 5:30; Alessandra and I took a private Karate class together at 6:30 from a 25 year old Norwegian national championship and international contender- and new friend; and then finished the night off with a nice dinner with some friends at their place down the road.

The kids have been swimming in a pool that you probably couldn't even imagine every afternoon, riding their Striders, riding horses almost every day (Alessandra has ridden on her own horse a couple of the times), eating good food and drinking nice wines, and enjoying the company of the most amazing international group of like minded people I could possibly imagine. 

I'll get another post in soon, and here are some pictures from the last week:
