BAHIA BLANCA AND NEUQUEN

Hola!

We have hit the road again and are visiting many of our assistant auditors one by one and participating in trainings and meetings.  We packed up and left Buenos Aires on Thursday, June 20.  Our first stop was Bahia Blanca where we were invited to the home of Hermano Camilo Merino and his lovely family.  We had an hour long meeting with Hermano Merino and then had a wonderful and delicious dinner with his very charming family.

Hermano Merino and his lovely wife and their three sons and daughter-n-law.  The boys all spoke English fairly well and we enjoyed wonderful conversation!  Left to right the sons are :  Santiago, Baltasar, and Juan


Bahia Blanca is a beautiful port city and has some amazing old buildings and is very clean.

After spending the night in Bahia Blanca,  Buenos Aires Province, we spent about 7 hours traveling westward to Neuquen , in Neuquen province where there are thousands of apple and pear trees along side of the road.  It must be very beautiful in the spring!

On Sunday Hermano Saade traveled from Zapala to Neuquen to have a meeting with us and an audit committee.  The meeting went really well and as usual it was great to meet new people!  They had a lot of questions for Michael and it felt good to be able to answer them!  I am beinning to be able to say a little more in Spanish now .. but it is very limited... but this is what I say at the end of each meeting:  "Me gustaria un foto, por favor!"  "mucho gusto y muchas gracia!"

After this meeting on Sunday evening, we began our journey southward to the very famous city of San Carlos de Bariloche on Monday morning!  We were excited and left just before daylight under the light of a  full moon.....
