little differences

Pasta and sauce for pasta are listed and charged separately here. Just in case you wanted to know. Also,

Tuna in sushi is not typically raw. We tried it. Not to our liking. Think about it. I believe we can get it raw by ordering it "atun rojo"

Apparently the average Argentine nasal cavity is either much deeper or much more resilient than the average American. To wit: we bought a little saline nasal inhaler (just saline water to moisten the nasal cavity) to help with all the pollution here. Because there were Gen and I testing out the inhaler and this thing was so powerful it was like a jet airplane.
We like the little translation differences. A wife is "esposa," but hancuffs are translated as "esposas". We saw a movie poster for "Snakes on the Plane." Here's an excerpt Gen found from an estancia's website:

1.30p.m: Lunch. Then we let our horses rest and drink water very near the watermill. Meanwhile the smell for the barbecue indicates that there is a delicious "asado" waiting for us with sausages, different types of meat, innards, chicken, "lomo", salads, red wine, soft drinks, fruit juices, fruit and coffee. For dessert, pudding and coffee is served but we also have guitar playing.

4 p.m: After lunch we mount again and take another direction outside the "Cabaña los dos hermanos" riding for about two hours, observing horse herds guarding the lagoon where cows, calfs, lapwings and colts are reflected in the water.

5.30 p.m: Arrival at the Cabaña
We say goodbye to each of our horses and are ready for a well deserved tea.


So until we mount again...
