Weekend of ´laxing with family Principi in San Luis

My dear Argentian friend Vicki invited me to spend the weekend with her and her family in Villa Mercedes/San Luis (5 hour bus journey from Cordoba). Was great to hang with a real-life Argentinian family and try and catch some of what they were talking about, share Mate (the local shared hot drink), eat cakes and check out more of the beautiful places Argentina has to offer. Check out a few fav snaps below:

Our fancy Cabina accomodation....where I mastered the art of the ´siesta´

Vicki and her mates dog contemplating nose diving into the Melansia (Melon with seeds taken out and wine, ice and sugar added), a group drink which everyone shares. Not a good time to be fussy about germs Bronwyn....

No you´re not seeing things, this is indeed a limosine in Argentina!

The ever famous ´Hasado´ (Barbecue) in Argentina, which Vickis mates put on for us the night we arrived into Villa Mercedes.

You may find this strange but I found it amazing, Vickis 7 year old brother has muscles! (Abs and muscular calves!!) Its the hours of football i´m told, i´m thinking seriously about doing a few laps of a football pitch myself this afternoon after my siesta and before a cerveza (beer).

Everyone in San Luis is mad about Table Football, you can find these gadgets everywhere and sometimes up to 6 people playing at once!

Little bro Nachi takes a break from talking 100 mph and giving his family some peace and quiet.

oh oh, someone found another icecream shop! And a new flavour....Sambayon! (creme of egg and wine!!!) mmmwwwwaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

A super relaxing weekend hanging out with the locals. Vickis family is just lovely, it blew me away just how kind, accomodating and generous with their time they were with me.

Muchas Gracias familia Principi xxx
