Another ship tender - they definitely need to work out the kinks of getting people off the ship. We had a separate excursion planned for a tour and lunch. 2 busses of 18 traveled an hour or so down dirt and paved roads. We went to a trickling twin falls and another river. On one of the dirt roads we saw gauchos riding their horses down the road in full gaucho gear, with each of them drinking a beer. We had lunch at a farmers house complete with a skinned lamb cooked over a fire and dancers. Again great pisco sours and plenty of wine. Animals and scenery remind you of New Zealand but the houses were very small and well worn. The lady that was tour tour guide was the best part of the trip because of her life story. She was from England, came over to Santiago to teach with her sister, met another Englishman, fell in love and got married. Her husband finally talked her into moving to Patagonia into a house they built themselves out of hay bales. She still teaches school and she is a guide during their summer vacation. I'm pretty sure I couldn't be that adventurous.
