Bob's golf challenge falls through

So far, my favorite and certainly the cleanest town we've visited in all of Argentina. Beautiful, well manicured plazas and an attractive downtown business area are just a small part of it's charm.

The hills above offer great para-gliding and beautiful scenery from below. Today was a cloudy, grey day, but we decided to play golf at La Cumbre Golf Club.

The home course of Angel Cabrerra and for you non-golfers, he's the Tiger Woods of Argentina and won the Masters a few year's back on the American professionals tour.

Since he was too chicken to show up, I had to play with Karen. We paid for our greens fee and rented one set of clubs to use between the two of us, purchased 6 golf balls that would have been rejected by the Village Greens driving range, and 4 tees--three of which were too short.

The cost for club rentals, balls, tees and pull cart far exceeded the cost of the greens fee. We stumbled through the course in our usual fashion and were completely tired out, but it was most enjoyable. We're at almost 5,000 feet, so maybe that helped to wear us out, too.

Keith will be able to buy a farm with all the dollars he stands to win from me.

La Cumbre Golf Club
Angel Cabrerra's home course, we're told.

Club House
We walked here yesterday and asked about golfing, but we couldn't rent clubs yesterday--no one there to work the pro shop. Couldn't buy a drink, either--no one working. I guess Monday's aren't big days here.

You see that straight left arm?
Bob's so proud of me...

One more lovely home by golf course
This area we're told is where high society Portenos (people from Buenos Aires) built their summer homes.

There was a lot of German influence in this area--the similarity I'm sure, was intended. And yes, it was very beautiful.
