I think Hemingway said that?

Maggie’s “goodbye feast” with all local goodies.

Pulling dried plums off the rack.

These kittens cuddled all day and the cuteness was pretty overwhelming. We had to pat Kristy down before we left to make sure they all stayed on the finca.

Peeling apples so Kristy can learn to bake a crumble.

Hauling brush to the burn pile on a beautiful day.

Just two of the five cats Kristy force cuddled all week.

Lounging with our hosts under the grape vines in front of their home.

Yes, Marea wore those clothes and drove that tractor- new profession?

The dogs waiting for critters to run out of the last cool part of the fire.

Looking fly in my farm clothes.

Kristy sweeping dirt and sand in the cracks of the patio we built to set the bricks.

The cat Annette is holding has a rat in his mouth that he stole from another cat. Annette is teaching him about property rights.

Posing in front of the brick patio we built.

Selfie with our hosts John and Annette before saying goodbye.

I own a chain of bikini and girlie sportsware stores in Cordoba, apparently.

Just outside Buen Pastor, formally a monestary and women’s prison.

No, Kristy did not photo bomb my selfie.

Sadly, we came at the wrong time of year.

Kristy takes care of her “birthday greeting” a day in advance on a beach in Montevideo. While the word for birthday in Spanish is “cumpleanos”, the guidebook team has theorized that “B-dia” is, like, mostly the same thing.
