Tigre River and La Quinta: Vacations within a vacation

[Original Post: 11/29/11]

The days following Thanksgiving remind me of why I came to Argentina.  To regain my sanity and appreciate life.  We spent all day after Thanksgiving on a river boat, cruising the deltas of the Tigre River in celebration of Vero’s birthday. Natural Huckleberry Finns just floating down the river.  Amigos, sun, beers, a spectacular view of the river and an unshakable feeling of contentment were my surroundings.

And because obviously it would be unjust to end the fun there, the following day we carpooled over to the quaint little town of San Isidro, where our friend David’s grandparents own a gorgeous Quinta, essentially a wonderful weekend home, complete with a pool, parilla (grill),  tennis court, huge lawn to roll around in (for the dog, of course) and several hidden rooms, reminiscent of a house out of a Harry Potter movie.  His grandparents now live in Uruguay, so thankfully we had no one to disturb.  2 days of Quinta R&R, throw in some meat for an asado and 20 bodies in the pool and I’d call that party.  Fue buenissimo!
