I can't tell you what an exciting time we all had on our journey to South America. After we visited the ASLANTRENDS mill, we travelled across the Argentine countryside to an estancia, a working farm, and enjoyed a day in the fresh air. 
We were met by La Gaucha Bonita and her friends. By far and away their empanadas were the best on the trip! Muy Delicioso!! We were greeted with folk musicians and dancers who performed for and with us :) 
And the barbeque . . .well everyone knows Argentina is famous for its beef. What a magnificent spread. After lunch we set up a yarn market and Nicky taught a knitting class al fresco, which was divine, the warm spring afternoon was a welcome change from the Floridian heat and humidity.
After our class, we had a surprise from Angelo: a sheep shearing!! Our gaucho clipped him by hand-no electric shears here! The sweet ewe was grateful for the haircut and was immediately transformed to a blonde from a brunette. Great day!
