We saw cattle further north including dairy cattle, down here it seems to be sheep country. We have only been to one supermarket in Argentina and beef did seem cheap, but expensive by local standards, I think. We didn’t buy any as it was only available in larger quantities than we could store or eat … and there were several full sides hanging in the fridge, for the home-butcher. I did buy some chicken tenderloins for less than $10/kg, which I thought was cheap.

Not what we expected in terms of countryside, I thought we’d be seeing more mountains, glaciers and snow, not flat, treeless plains. We’ll see the mountains and glaciers when we go further west on our way back. Exciting about Sam and Brianna’s house, isn’t it? It looks great in the photos, and the floor plan.

Is it cheap to buy? So many questions from me but I do love to learn something every day !! x
