Jill just sent the following brief but envy-worthy report.

Day Five (Thursday):

Following another lazy morning (with breakfast delivered to each of our roooms – I could get used to this!), we set off for a three-hour drive west to Tandil (in the hill country).
 
We checked in to our hotel (Ave Maria) and arrived in time for lunch (Do you see a theme here? – carriages and food!!). The afternoon was free to swim, walk, ride, or drive horses or just take it easy. Everyone is taking advantage of one of the activities!
 
The weather is glorious – sunny and warm. Check out the website www.avemariatandil.com.ar
 
Tomorrow we head north again, stopping at the Estancia La Mora – home of the Fox family with their wonderful carriage and book collections, plus Hackney horses, sheep, and cattle.
