-
well good morning guys morning welcome to little slice of paradise here in
-
Argentina where are we we're in La Cumbrecita La Cumbrecita in
-
the province of Cordoba I'm a little being here I'm not used to the altitude
-
or all we're also hiking at the moment again yeah we did
-
so yeah it's O about 1500 meters here were up in the mountains in the valley
-
of kalamu cheetah yes this is the town where I went to school as a child yeah
-
so it feels familiar in some ways yet I didn't really explore or do a whole lot
-
of hiking when I was in this area no and I remember you were saying that the town
-
is really exploded and yes in terms of development since you were last here
-
lots of new businesses lots of new people living here today it's got a plan
-
of action two things we want to do number one hike yep visit a few
-
different lookout points and get beautiful views of the whole area and
-
number two food there's a lot of like German Swiss inspired cow and that's
-
really popular in this area and it seems to be what most restaurants specialize
-
in yeah so after a bit of hiking we're gonna go get some food honestly today is
-
a bit of a late start to the day we had breakfast at 10:00 so we need some
-
exercise or exercise before we work up lunch
-
so we are now arriving at the lookout point
-
it's called mirador de cristo chico or lookout little Christ eighty meters off
-
the main road not too difficult
-
so one thing to mention here is the beautiful weather on the summer day I
-
actually checked the weather online before we left and it said the maximum
-
was gonna be 21 degrees and it's January it's February February just try be area
-
right now yeah and what's nice as the Sun is peeking through the clouds but
-
it's also we're getting a lot of cloud cover as well and there's a light breeze
-
this is perfect for walking I started off with the fleece now your inanity
-
t-shirt and who knows you might be putting on the fleece again at some
-
point
-
our next stop the cutest little chapel you ever did see it's up there this is
-
what it looks like
-
right now we have stopped for a quick break to catch our breaths at blasted us
-
beyond arrows which means Pioneer Square and they have lots of really cool wood
-
sculptures all over town and there's one just behind us with two little owls oh
-
yeah check out the workmanship on this one it's got like these roses and Ivy
-
carved into the tree trunks pretty cool Sam is very impressed by the tree trunks
-
you see here kind of mesmerized by them they look ancient ancient looks like
-
something out of like a haunted movie or something so another really cool thing
-
about this town is that it's pedestrian only so you may see a few cars in town
-
but only people who live here are allowed to actually drive them in if
-
you're visiting you have to leave your car out in this massive parking lot at
-
the entrance of town and then they bring you in by bus or you can walk down the
-
hill it's a very short walk well yeah that gives this place a very peaceful
-
tranquil feel like you can just roam down the dirt roads and walk around for
-
hours really and there are hardly any vehicles so yeah a beautiful place for
-
hiking enjoying nature we're just surrounded by trees and forests and
-
flowers people really take care of their gardens here so you have so many
-
different flowers in bloom and everything is just perfectly manicured
-
so yeah we're enjoying this little walk here
-
so that was the chapel founded in the year 1967
-
I actually remember coming to church there as a kid a handful of times
-
sometimes the service was in Spanish sometimes it was elf Deutsch yes it's
-
really cool to see it they're still standing it really is beautiful from the
-
exterior and yeah it's very cozy inside you can only fit a few people sometimes
-
people would stand outside to listen to part of the service
-
yeah we're continuing our walk through town still panting here I think it's
-
going to take long words and upwards so take me a few days to get used to this
-
we've been stuffing ourselves with parrisha pizza with empanadas pakoras up
-
ahora so you know rudder shape this is exactly what we need burn the belly
-
the plan today the German food so we have arrived at a restaurant called the
-
squat Orientis the four winds this is one of the few restaurants that doesn't
-
have a German name here most of them do have German names and yeah lots of
-
German dishes we're gonna order two then two German desserts oh yeah yeah German
-
beers but is the plan and Sam is going to update us on the status of his finger
-
which he nearly lost the only new family and a very valuable lesson today
-
oh my gosh guys okay so I was flying the drone
-
I mean Diaz bringing it back to me I just got a new one it's a really tiny
-
one called the DJI spark it's this little tiny and cute I was just getting
-
a little bit cocky I was just like reaching up to grab it I miscalculated
-
because of the wind it kind of I think it actually came either one above her
-
down I can't remember because I'm just like in shock that the boy he'd sliced
-
up with my thumb and that blood was just going everywhere is like flowing like a
-
river yeah I thought I was gonna need stitches it was a deep cut but not deep
-
enough for that so yeah I got a really lucky I could've like sliced off my
-
thumb or something else I don't know it was scary I've never seen so much blood
-
on the ground and we had to wrap it with stalk Hardy she took off of her foot
-
which is gross it was the only thing that I could put fresh around it and it
-
was over 15 or 20 minute walk and there's a little local ambulance and
-
fortunately there was a really kind nurse who you know disinfected it
-
wrapped it up in this nice bandage as you can see and yeah that was a
-
unexpected event and so we're having lunch and three when we had probably
-
planned on having it at around 1:30 so that's what happened
-
eventful day with Samuel Jeffrey cheers to say I'm keeping his finger nice to
-
have a full set of fingers and toes whatever is good we got two beers
-
artisanal beers burg Roy and mine is the chop which is 350ml yes

-
of runny and skimpy little pieces of meat but check out the big chunks it's
-
hard and it is hard even this is the kind of food you eat after you go home
-
for a walk for a long time and when you know when you sucks up when your fingers
-

lot this is my third plate of goulash that I'm having since we arrived in
-
Argentina I'm not tired of it yet no I know because every where does it a
-
little bit differently though I know these two these two things are made for
-
each other the goulash and the spatula I'm very filling but we want to see a
-
room for dessert because we saw two different German desserts on the menu
-
that we really want to try trying to exercise self-control here but it's so
-
hard like these plates are gonna be empty in a matter of minutes
-
I know mm-hmm there's gonna be no self-control after all soft control so
-
cool to be able to share such such a great meal isn't it yeah imagine if you
