good morning good morning guys greetings from el bolson Argentina we've got a bit
of a special episode for you today yeah what are we doing have been invited to a
Gaucho party which is pretty exciting we didn't even know it was taking place
no it's outside of the city Sam's never been to one I went to a few when I was a
kid living in Argentina but it's been ages and it's a really fun event so
super looking forward to it see I'm got a couch who had a few days ago we need
to go get back can't believe I put this on and I know also we should mention
that it's our Airbnb host Valentin that invited us yeah so cool really cool guy he's
roughly our agent yeah it's so cool from for him to invite us we originally were
gonna go on a hike but instead we're gonna do this this is like how much that
is so much better all right off to get your hat got your hat time there's a guy
so hot I don't know if Gauchos wear those green glasses you love to sport
but hey they're there for all all types okay all types of people with no fashion
sense there you go all set what's that
Oh
you and Kitty are gonna have a nice day together
barbecue is currently being prepared just behind us there's still another 30
minutes to go before the food's ready but yeah there is a lot of meat here
lamb cordero cooked on the cross this is gonna be good
we've got some picnic tables set up some benches so we're gonna be eating before
we check out the events the festivities today there you have it it's one o'clock
right now food should be ready by 1:30 we've already placed our order
doing a little shopping here if you want to become a gaucho this is the place to
do so you can get the pants the bomb watches the leather belts leather purses
shirts shopping for Knights so I'm considering buying a okay question is
did you bring that much money
we have our asado in front of us and we were testing of the new knives yeah we
bought some cows oh nice yeah I bought one for himself they're incredible one
for your dad the meat is wonderful we have some different cuts yeah some ribs
and is just very very juicy well you got to show the knife yeah the knife already
did its work let's see if I can cut another bubble real just so you can see
today's gonna be a day of messy hands messy eating no forks here it cuts very
well it's a super sharp super tall most scary sharp
and how's the meat very good very good do you see saltine tasty we've got a bun
which is gonna come in handy so ya lovely meal oh and wine
thanks for getting wine for us
all right so I'm here with my good friend Ballentine and we're having
Argentine asado yes it's so delicious and we have you to
thank for us coming here so thank you very much
oh you will how's the asado so far this is very very good a saddle and we are in
single man so yes Annie are two local songs and I am very happy to find these
two good guys my new friends new friend we're loving this thanks so much she's
so tired she's been eating a lot
oh not difficult I'm gonna have a scratch on my face
well guys here we are that was a great barbecue what did you think mr.
cameraman Sam it was fantastic we eat so much and
everything was delicious oh man what is they surprised I mean we weren't even
planning on having asado today just as of yesterday invitations
just been amazingly what better way to spend a Sunday serious yeah and now that
we be and we feel like we need a siesta but the party's just getting started
we've got the Gauchos on their horses yeah the racing around Barrow a lot
barrels yeah barrels barrels like going around trying not to knock them down
yeah treating their skill on a horse yeah so yeah we're gonna watch this
so we've just come here for the day but I've gotta say some people have shown up
with their tents and I have a feeling this is probably a party that lasts two
or three days people have brought a lot of supplies you know everything you need
to kind of spend a long weekend out here there's whole families that have come
together the pets have arrived I've actually met a really friendly dog yeah
it's a pretty cool setting and just beautiful weather for a day like safe
we're back in the car time for a little update so had a lovely lunch we watched
a few of the demonstrations but like the party's not really getting going with
the Gauchos because apparently they weren't really hard yesterday and
everyone's hungover so there's not a lot happening today though so our friend is
driving us to an old oh yeah oh sure hello sir we're we're planning to visit
a labyrinth maybe have some minions like an opportunity which is awesome yeah
that's where we're headed right now yeah I mean we had we had a lot of Perea but
I feel by the time we have merienda will have an opportunity ready for it and
yeah that was fantastic getting to go to that event I mean it was out of town we
wouldn't have found out about otherwise it was like an hour drive sorted I've
gone their honor really oh we owe everything to Valentin yes that's the
funny thing
so my only rule is that we have to split up
to make this more fun the three of us can't head into the labyrinth together
otherwise there's no incentive so yeah I ditch the boys I think they're gonna try
and help each other doing this on my own didn't work out so well it's a dead end
I'm not trying my second second attempt first one failed really hoping I can
beat the boys this is a massive maze I don't know if it's like the biggest maze
in Patagonia or the biggest maze in all of our Jen Tina but it's huge it smells
nice walking through here looks like a new path and here the boys I get here
the boys I haven't hit a roadblock in a while so I feel like I must be doing
well road splits I should mention we're starting this
labyrinth just as we're losing daylight Suns already behind the mountain yes
I've made it to the central courtyard this is good but this is only the
beginning of the labyrinth it continues
Wow ooh a door but is not the right way to talk to talk now this door is open
this is a good sign I can hear a dog barking I can also hear the boys think
they're behind me a few hedges over Oh dead end I was told that apparently they
change up the maze every once in a while just because you've been here once
doesn't mean you're gonna find your way around
no but we're out of the first part to the first maze because you came through
the central courtyard yeah weren't you to get here oh yeah maybe we
will stick together and help each other out
well guys we are back at the cottage and what are they yes I'm just gonna say so
much fun I was today I loved today it was that the Gaucho
event was just incredible yeah I was picked Acula I felt like I was invited
to like an exclusive event that we would never find us to arrest you yeah yeah
honestly everything we do today I feel like we needed to have a local friend to
show us around and get us there and like explain things to us because this is
kind of like off the beaten tourist trail like these aren't places that
would be easy to access exactly but so much fun so much fun we had a great
asado it was gray on buying our first Argentinian Gaucho live oh yeah put
those to good use over the years mm-hmm yeah what a day like this was unplanned
spontaneous so much fun huh and then the labyrinth and the afternoon tea that
cake okay that's chocolate sponge cake with cream and all sorts of red berries
and then had meringue and it had done to the lychee I want to try and recreate
that in my kitchen one day Wow so yeah it's gonna be hard to talk today but
we've still got four more days and every what's on three Sun ahead of us so yeah
we're just going to enjoy that to the max please yeah I think we did some
hiking we'll check out the town maybe make our own saddle here we do have we
do have a grill yeah and uh with coming today a little kitty I don't know
if you can see it yeah these just came in for a little bit of food yeah so with
that in mind we'll see you guys soon from el bolson
