This past Saturday I spent the day with my classmates on an estancia (farm) about an hour and a half from my university. In the morning we ate breakfast there, watched the farm hands try to lasso cows and then rode some of the horses they had. That afternoon we ate asado which is where someone cooks tons of carne (meat) on a large outdoor grill. After our huge lunch we learned about the gaucho (cowboy) lifestyle from the owner of the farm, learned some traditional music and learned a little bit about traditional dances. The gaucho culture has a complex history and a unique lifestyle that makes Argentina's farming unique from other countries.
