My last days in Buenos Aires were filled with activities, and especially great night life. The pict. I have left of these great days- are just a small small sample...
These pictures are from a Sunday morning, 2 days before leaving back to Israel.

In the ranch- when the rest of the gang joined in

In my last few days at the Lago Puelo ranch, the rest of the gang- Liran, Serrandita and Ido (Amir was in Viena by that time) have joined in.

In the pict. you can see Ido (the one with the big knife) preparing us all an excellent dinner, with included Moussaka and some more delights. In the 4th pic. - My brother Liran and Serrana.

El Lago, an Lago Puelo

Arriving to the "Mirador" was a wonder by itself. As we missed the normal path, we climbed on this mountain almost like you do wall-climbing. After a while- when we gave up, we realized there was no way back. It was scary there, for a while...

"The Ranch"- Lago Puelo

2007-11-05T15:04:00.000-08:00

Lago Puelo was the first place in which I was truly happy not to have a vacation just outside my Tzimer. It was a true heaven.
Me and alon arrived to this beautiful Israeli- Ranch, out in the middle of no-where in Argentina. During the first few days, I didn't really feel that I had to leave this place- with the beautiful scenery (together with Alon's cooking classes at the evening time) was just enough for me.
The first Picture you see is the view I had from our room, just above my bed.
The next pictures are from outside the ranch, and the last picture with Alon is our regular root for the nearest Supermarket...

El-Bolson, apon arrival

After 2 days in Briloche (it was my 3rd time there) I took a 2.5 hours bus drive with Alon to El-Bolson, and from there continued to Lago Puelo.

Horse back riding- Mendoza area

2007-10-19T05:00:00.000-07:00

This was a great day that included about 4 hours of riding and a few layed back hours just enjoying the great view and eating the best asado! http://www.minihostels.com/el_jarillal

Visiting the Wineries in Medoza area

2007-10-18T17:35:00.000-07:00

Together with Ben, my new friend in Mendoza, I went visiting the wineries. The pictures can tell it all...

After a few days in Buenos Aires, The Mini Hostel team (www.minihostels.com) has decided to start moving around (Daniel was of course all over the place at this point, joining up dozens of hostels, while we were just on the bus (good on you Daniel).

A few words about Minihostels
This is a new business of My brother's and his partners (Ido and Daniel) which is something I am really proud of: It is a network of all kinds of good quality, small and non-commercial hostels around South America. The traveler who buys a minihostels card can get a %10 discount in all the hostels (and more services), gets all the information through the website and book in advance, and - can be sure that the next hostel is a good one. The small- non commercial hostels who are straggling against the giant ones can get more exposure and also make money from selling the cards. In short - it is a good deal for all parties....
The above picture is on the bus, on our way to Mendoza! You can see my brother Liran and his girlfriend Serrana, behind them are 2 more minihostels crew- Ido & Amir, and the additional team members: yours truly and Alon- were sitting in the front of the bus, freezing to death during this ride.

This is the first Sunday in Mendoza, when the team has decided to take a day of, and followed me in my request to trek around. We took a trekking tour with some company, thinking that we are going to see some nice views in the area, and have an easy vacation day. In fact, we found out that we took a climbing-in-the-snow- tour to the mountain, and had a very cloudy day, so we really didn't see any view. An experience...
Liran and Serrana fooling around...

The Zoo- Buenos Aires

2007-10-18T15:15:00.000-07:00

Apparently, the zoo at Plaza Italya in BA is a very good one. I never imagined... And so, accompanied by my Brazilian friends, whom I met at Lirani's hostel, I went to see some fantastic, colorful animals (but all that after a good dish of Ravioli at the "Poalim" restaurant you can see here).
"The girl from Ipanima" was our meal's theme..

Rosh Hashana

2007-10-18T15:04:00.000-07:00

After the ceremony of dinner was finished, a whole new event has emerged, and things started to warm up. First, Amir and his dad Danni started playing, than- in the 2nd pic you can see ido (after a long session with Amir) played.
And at the end of the evening, Liran and Ido made some rap music with the SIDUR.

I arrived to Buenos Aires to find myself at the middle of an extremely busy life of my brother and his team of associates, who are all working diligently at the creation of Minihostels- a network of small -family like- guesthouses all over south america. And so, I joined Liran at his working activities...
