Today was a relatively easy day. Our drive to Tandi as we head towards Buenos Aires, was about three hours. We couldn’t check in before 3 pm so we stopped whenever we saw something interesting along the way.
Our first stop was at a dairy store we just happened to see.
A bit farther down the road we stopped for a picnic.
We’ve seen lots of wheat farms and cattle today.
It’s obvious from the amount of standing water that we have seen that they have had a lot of rain here lately. When we finally got close to the place we are staying tonight we followed Google’s directions ( big mistake!) and about a quarter of a mile from our hotel we got stuck in a giant mud puddle. We almost made it but them we slid backwards and there was no way we were getting out on our own.
Duke stayed with the car and I walked to our hotel. Using Google and my limited Spanish I was able to communicate the problem. A young man walked back to the car with me and he and Duke pushed the car out of the mud while I drove. It turned out that there was a much better road on which we should have a approached our hotel.
We went into the town of Tandi for dinner and had an excellent meal at Bodegón del Fuerte.

What an adventure! The beef platter has me drooling for a good grill and pounds of beef. I’m looking forward to having you back home and also enjoying every day of your trip.
