We had a great day relaxing outside of BA. The town tour was good culminating in the silversmiths craft shop. Excellent English from our guide. He has many stories to tell of the gauchos. Ranch experience was somewhat disappointing. It’s hard to take 25 people out riding without feeling like a carnival experience. It had been raining on the day we went so had to have Asado on covered porch. The meal had lots of variety and was plentiful.
