I'm doing an Argentina Post and a Bolivian Post just because the photos get so out of order!
Leaving Auckland Airport for the 1st time on Lan Chile.

| We went out to German and Rossie who live on the convention grounds there. We had a bit of a snooze. June took us for a walk down to the nearby village and then later in the evening German (pronounced Herman) cooked us an Argentina Barbecue:-) it was very delicious, the steak was one of the best! I could only manage 1 piece even though it was offered several times more! |
 |
| Donald was there for the weekend so it was good to catch up with him |
 |
| It was Florencea's 17th Birthday |
 |
| The next day we went out to their farm to help butcher a cow!!!!!!! How do you like June's new hair style:-) |
 |
| Donald was the chief Butcher |
 |
| Lew managed to chop his finger in his sleepy state! |

These are FANTASTIC, Merle!!!! I didn't know you were going, so what a pleasant surprise to see them! Thanks for sharing and its awesome to see what goes on away over there. June looks happy and healthy! :-)
Merle, I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at all your pictures of your trip! What a wonderful experience! I'm assuming these are workers from N.Z.? Related to you? I recognize Laura from when she was a nanny here in BC. How long were you gone for? So next trip is Canada????!!!! I just came back from a week on Vancouver Island - spent some time with a worker friend of mine - was very relaxing - so will post some pics soon - I'm very behind on posting as I still haven't posted Ethan's 1st b'day pics from the beginning of May. Its been a VERY busy month. Anyways just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the overview of your trips.
