You are telling me that You went to La Falda. Was it one week
that you spent there? Fantastic. Well then, tell me all about it,
and here are some "guide questions"

·How long did you go there for?


·What activities did Y'all partake in? Which one was your
favourite? And what about Your kid's favourite, how did She do?
And what about Your wife, what was her favourite part of the
trip?
·What did You eat?
·How was the place? like physically describing it.
·How was getting back? And I don't mean the trip home, I mean
how does it feel to return to normal life?
·Did this whole thing give You any new or different perspective
about Your routine/work life or whatever? If so, what was it?
We were in la falda for 5 days.
You have three strikes. (1/3)
With my wife we visited the Eden Hotel in the night in a guided tour. I think is my
favorite activity in the hollidays.
We visited a cave, with my daughter and IT was a fantastic activity for her.
We did some trekking too, to Cerro Banderita and some small falls like "cascada de los
helechos"
In my wife's case, she made another activity alone whith her mother. She visited a Spa
and spend all the evening in this place.

The place where we stay is a little special. Is an 100 years hotel, without internet or 4g
networks, so, I was a little disconected.
Regarding of the food, I almost not went to restaurants. In the nights the hotel served a 3
steps dinner. It was pretty good. And in the lunch, almost every day we went to a
restaurant of a mexican lady that was living in la falda for the last 10 years.

After te vacations, I have a lot of work to do... I trying to take it easy, but is a little
stressfull... Like I need another vacations.
I trying to make less thing of my work in overtime... but is hard, because I still have a lot
of emails to answer...
