In Argentina Sundays are spent with the family, today my family traveled thirty minutes to a beautiful lake in the mountains called Largo San Roque in the town of Carlos Pax. I have begun to notice some interesting things about the barrios here. Here a very rich barrio might be next to the slums or a very poor barrio. In the States there appears to be a slow gradation between neighborhoods and there social status; it’s of no importance solely an interesting observation. As the wind began to pick up latter in the afternoon the lake filled with sailboats. It was relaxing just to sit and enjoy the afternoon. I had empanadas with my family for the first time; my mom explained to me that the different type of empanadas depended on the province they had come from. An empanada is sort of a mix between a dumpling and calzone, stuffed with meat and veggies and fried they are delicious, but beware they can be a little messy.
Brookie! You have a wonderful way of bringing us to the places you have been and I can almost taste the food you describe! Blessings to you and thank you for keeping us posted, we love hearing from you but I can't cut and paste from your blog so your Uncle has been reading your blogs to grandma, she loves hearing about you and how you're doing. She says hello and she loves you. :)
