Happy new year 2009¡
That 2009 brings you love and happiness !
We had a wonderful Christmas.
We arrived on Esquel, in Argentina, the 23 December, in time to do some shopping. The girls begin to be disappointed that we didn't had a Christmas tree neither Christmas presents !
We're trying to find a cabana to stay for 2 days, but it seemed more complicated than we tought: the first was close, the second full, the third didn't answered. After a day of sleep,
we let our self been guided by the hazard of 
meeting people and we arrived at Bahia Rosales,
in the Alerces National Park, the 24Th at the
beginning of the afternoon, after visiting the park
and buying 10 kg of sherries on a sherry
plantation !
We settled our Christmas's tree, enjoyed the sun and the quiet of the place. We had a part of the evening by ourselves and the other half we joined in the dinner with the other people,the owners and workers of the place.
And what amazing people we met. Ramiro and Adrian, with them special way of seeing life.
An old gaucho that had born, lived and probably will die on this region. And Laura. A french speaking opera singer from Buenos Aires. She delighted us with 3 arias from different operas, on Christmas eve which made more for the music culture for the girls, than a full month of study. She also had a wonderful life to tell and she revealed each of us a bit more about ourselves.
This nice place also made me(Eric)some presents:a beautifull trout,and some inprovised fly-fishing lesson! The nicest present was meeting with Laura...
For the New Year we met with another french family that we knew from Puerto Piramides.
First time for all of us that New Years Eve was done outside around a BBQ.
We atyed around Bariloche for some dental care and work on the blog.
Now we're going up nord. We'll probably visit Chili again.
Have a very happy new year ¡
