For some reason I keep forgetting you are located at my antipodes, and the seasons are a mirror image. Looking around me at the trees without leaves and the fields a sullen brown, I realize that is another good reason to plan on visiting Argentina at this time of year. Hmmm.

I'm heading to Argentina on Jan 21 from cold, snowy Europe before continuing on to Canada. I might have to extend my stay there just a bit longer...

Gorgeous. Love serendipity of the situation, enabled by the clerk’s honesty and your family’s openness to adventure. Merry Christmas!

That is a beautiful place. I remember traveling often with my parents to Mexico. The pool was the key to enjoyment of any hotel! Probably about your daughter's age.

Little place called Cordones del Chapelco, outside the San Martin pueblito. Worth a visit!

Is that near Bill and Doug's place down there?

I could certainly enjoy being locked away here for a few days!

Just curious, how much in US dollars does it cost to stay in such a place for one night?

Just lovely. Thank you for sharing this beautiful adventure you live with your family. These are the days.

And to that thought I raise a glass... (a mug of coffee in truth. It is after all 7:30am but will do so again with the real thing in 12 short hours) ...wishing you and yours, and all those you've brought together here, every Blessing and good thing this Christmas season and in the new year!

So what happened to the choclates and the lamb. Was wife the only one to extend the "very lucky" with the pool?
