Late breakfast, food not so hot or plentiful. At 10.00 Eliana took us to an
estancio outside the city -
Santa Susana. On the way there we passed the River Plate football ground. At the estate we saw the original house, now a museum, had a glass of red wine and a tasty
empanada, then sat in the extensive grounds until the
asado or barbecue was ready. We had a very good table by the stage, and were served with three salads, chorizo, beef, chicken and sweet pastries. Plus some very adequate
Vasco Viejo Argentinian red. The
gauchos, in their traditional costumes, served the food.
We had a tango show and musicians - guitar and accordion - before going outside to see the gauchos riding. The horses are kept for polo and enjoy taking part in displays and competitions.

In the hotel bar later, I enjoyed a margarita. Richard tried the Quilmas Blue Label beer. We weren't hungry.
