In early December, one of my good friends from my mission invited me to join him for a week long trip back to the old stomping grounds in Salta, Argentina. As usual, we soon found trouble. The Salta police helped us find a place to eat and expand our Spanish vocabulary. We quickly found out that the word for wife or spouse is the same word used for handcuffs (esposas).
We spent some time in the hills just outside of Salta in a place called San Lorenzo. We took in the local spa, did some ATV tours and enjoyed the local cuisine (just how we had remembered it). As usual, we ran into some of the local livestock along the way. I think this would be a good place for Larry to start up the old ranch. I could be the translator.
On one of the days in Salta we hiked the San Bernardo mountain. There is a cable car that takes visitors up and down the mountain. We decided to do it the hard way by hiking up the mountain and taking the cable car down. The view was worth it though.
During our week long stay in Salta we decided to try another "resort" outside of a small town 2 hours south of Salta. The "resort" had tons of bugs on the ground (inside the hotel) and we had to be the youngest people there. We were happy we had only booked 1 night at this fabulous "resort".

Looks like you had a great time! Man, your wife is awesome letting you go on a guys trip during the holidays, right before your 10th anniversary. So are you on permanent diaper duty? and nightly foot rubs?
You should have taken your Dad to help translate. You would not have ended up in the "esposas" mess.
Carinos,
Dad
Wow, I love the scenery. Now I would like to visit there someday too. Don't know about a ranch--is ground pretty cheap there? Do you think the whole family will move there as going to visit different family members from Argentina could get spendy. Talk everybody into it and we're there.Mom
