Argentina rodeo - Bariloche
We start the year with appointment at the dentist for all of us.
Nothing very serious but we profited to be in a big city.
Eric was recuperating from an angina and I had I big cool, so we decide to drive not to far to take a rest. We fond a private property witch, against a small fee, the owners will let people camp. It was a nice place near the river. We stayed there a couple of days. Once there was a popular party during the WE, we decide to stay longer in order to see the Argentina rodeo.
Saturday we're invited to the birthday party of
Senora Anacuna, the owner's wife,
and Sunday we saw the popular party. There was traditional dance. .
The argentine rodeo is very different than the Chilien one we had seen. Here the guys have to stay 12 seconds on the back of a horse that have not been themed. After this time, two others horse riders take him from each side while the horse goes on his wild way
Some boys took it quite ok and, off course some others fall dawn on the first 3 seconds. It's always impressive to see

We left the place direction S.Martin de los Andes - a very nice and tourist city. At this moment, in Argentina is the equivalent of our summer holidays. There are a lot of people everywhere. The local campsite was full, so we spend the night on a vacant field in town that was to sell. We 're so lucky that the owner, living nearby, allowed us to fill in the water tanks.
The day after, we recuperate our laundry and off we go to Chilli. The way from the seven lacks it's a regular earth road until the terms. After it gets a very wild road: narrow, big stones and holes. But it can be done by a regular camper van if it's a bit high on wheels.
