Villa Gesell






Hola Sports Fans!
Hanky doodle and I are in a sweet beach town in Argentina called Villa Gesell. We stumbled upon this town because we found ourselves beat up in Buenos Aires and needed a rest. I requested a beach town to get some sun. With little research, and an 8 hour bus ride, here we are. The weather has been mostly cloudy with two absolutely lovely days- today being one of them. I think we have found this town in it's "shoulder season" right before they are gearing up for summer. It's been very sleepy but this weekend has seemed to kick off the beginning of summer. For the most part, it has been a lovely, laid- back couple of days here. I was nursing a cold so we really took it easy- beach days and sleeping in. Perfectly Awesome.
We spent one day riding quads on the beach. It's kinda like trail-riding to be honest. Better to own your own horse. We did enjoy the ride and the beach was completely beautiful. We did encounter a seal (a guide got really close to it a made it mad- poor baby!).
The ride was a really fun way to spend the afternoon, however, we have no photos of the beautiful sand dunes, beach scenery, and trails through the pine forest to share. Apparently, battery packs are a key element to camera and we left ours in the plug at the hostel. Uh-oh...Bad photos assistant. Bad.

Anywho, here's the key to the photos...

Hanky Poodle and I at the beach today...yay, sun!

Another day collecting shells...

Steak- yum. Aregentinan's are famous for their meat and it's well worth the trip. Just go...

Villa Gesell...

A couple of boys that were particularly entertaining during lunch....

Much Love and the count down is on!
