Girlfalldown 0 #1 February 23, 2004 I got back from Argentina yesterday and wanted to let you all know how much I missed you! I have so many stories but the one that I'm thinking of right now is being thrown from the horse while riding in the Andes. The gaucho hadn't tightened the saddle and I was in a full run when I felt myself slip and the next thing I knew my lower back was being slammed against a ridge of hard soil and rocks. The horse was standing next to me with a surprised look on his face. I think he was smirking too. The gaucho ran up and threw the saddle back on, tightened it and let me climb right back on. I was rather shaken but got over it fast and ran him off and on the rest of the way. Drank myself silly that night and got an hour massage the next day and that helped my back a bit. It's hard to be back on California time. I'm starving and want some wine! So what did you guys do all week? -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

ACMESkydiver 0 #2 February 23, 2004 Wow...fun and exciting, huh GFD?? I rolled a saddle once when I was 12 years old. Same deal. Full gallop, it sucked. Hope the rest of your trip was outstanding though! Great to see you're back! ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Girlfalldown 0 #3 February 23, 2004 The horse I rode was really amazing. He did everything I asked him to do. Not anything like the horses you get when you go riding at a place where they hire them out. Actually the entire trip was outstanding. I spent the first three days eating meat and drinking wine and the last 3 days eating meat and drinking wine. Somewhere in there I ate some meat and drank some wine. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #4 February 23, 2004 QuoteSo what did you guys do all week? We spent the time mulling over what kind of souveniers you're bringing us from Argentina. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Girlfalldown 0 #5 February 23, 2004 I brought you all mate gourds. You just have to come to San Francisco to pick them up. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Girlfalldown 0 #9 February 23, 2004 Oh yeah we were very well fed. The courses went like this. Empanadas (always 3 different kinds so you had to try all 3) plate of cheese and sliced meat 1 red sausage and 1 blood sausage beef asada more beef asada beef rib asada pork ribs pork meat chicken then the guy would walk around and offer you whatever was left. Then you got some kind of dessert followed by these deep fried wanton things soaked in sugar. You might have a small plate of tomatoes, eggplant and potato salad on the side but that was just for looking at. Note that this was just lunch. You did it again around 10pm. I'm getting full just typing it. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
