well good morning good morning guys good morning guys we haven't filmed for a few days we took a
few days off yeah we had work to do around the in and around the property and we also had some
computer work to do on our computers some editing for you guys you have videos to keep watching
yeah um but yeah today is our final day in cordoba we are just packing up and checking out of the
cottage so we thought we would give you a little tour guys the temperature dropped like crazy
we went from almost 30 degrees to like basically zero like that's mountain weather for you we had
base it's spring here early spring we had a taste of summer we had like almost 30 degrees and then
it fell back into winter we never really had any spring temperatures it was crazy summer and winter
while we were here and yeah well just to give you a little heads up about what's happening today
we have to drive back to cordoba argentina to drop off the rental car yeah before that we're going to
stop in the town of alta gracia see do a little sightseeing this is said c which i should say yes
he's starting to pick up the language i'm starting to speak spanish automatically and the maid is
coming to clean yeah so yeah we need to get going soon basically we do so we're going to show you uh
basically the towns we visit on the way to cordoba and we'll take you on the the night overnight bus
that we're taking to tucuman we are going to tucuman a new destination your destination
all right very exciting so cottage tour this time around we rented a much smaller cabin the last
time we were here yeah so little kitchen area which we didn't really use we don't really cook
that much when we're traveling we made breakfast toast keep it simple we made toast
dining area yeah large enough for five people
then this is the living area and slash bedroom sofas are also beds so if it's like a family with
three kids visiting yeah the kids would have their little slumber party out here or or when we bring
your dad along or my dad is like dad took one of the sofa beds yeah so yeah and then through here
we have our little sink area bathroom we've got the shower yeah the toilet
the day and i threw a towel there as a curtain because it's see-through uses see-through glass
i don't know guys oh this was the most important thing a stove for the last two days we've had
this stove going it's it's just it's been a game changer because it's so cold outside
so cool it's been a lifesaver it's the only reason we haven't frozen that's true um and this was our
bedroom this is where sam and i stayed we stayed at uh basically family friends family friends such
nice people it's nice to to get to spend time with them and last night we had some wine with them
we did empanadas and dessert and liqueur and yeah whiskey and whiskey so yeah we we had a great
great time here it's part of the reason we're leaving so late today but yeah that's part of
the reason anyways yeah it's time to get going it's past noon we need to head to cordoba
is
this is our lunch today we are having the fried empanadas that i can't stop thinking about
these are so good it's sweet beef because it has raisins
yum yum it's hot enough just delicious yeah yeah they heated them up for us huh yeah yeah
we got half a dozen tulips and very very tasty i know it was like what 500 pesos which is about
like eight bucks or something eight us dollars that includes our drinks and we got dessert
yeah so and we're probably i don't even know if we'll eat all these so might be a snack later
so
well well back in the vehicle yeah we we we've been driving for a while i'd say we were like
like about halfway the cordoba at this point yeah i'd say so we decided to break up the journey
with a stop here in alta gracia where i would say the main attraction in the city is an old jesuit
estancia there's quite a few of them in cordoba but this one is very popular so yeah we went in
there it was by donation by donation it's it's quite grand there's a fascinating terrace to walk
around you also you go into these rooms and they have like of course different theme rooms there's
art there's you know old artifacts shows the types of beds they used to sleep on which you found
fascinating they're so little they're such little beds like did people's legs not dangle off yeah
yeah there's a nice little garden area a pathway to walk around and so yeah it made for a nice stop
i mean by no means are we gonna like visit this whole city but for just a quick little pit stop on
the way to the airport to drop off the car it was a it was definitely interesting i'd recommend it
yeah but i would also say it's nicer to come on like a sunny day blue skies warmer weather because
today there's such a chill in the air that just penetrates your bones and we didn't last out there
very long now we're just warming up winter's last hurrah yeah in spring here in argentina
maybe they're well fed
we've made it to the bus terminal in cordoba argentina hello it's time for a much needed
update you know to be honest all three of us have been tired today we were actually when we
were driving taking the rental car back to the airport we were having a yawning competition
in the car we're just like it's just one of those days the weather's cold it's gray outside
anyways we've made it to the bus terminal we're so happy to have found this little restaurant
here we've come here before it's kind of a diner style yeah and yeah we've just basically placed a
little order we're going to have carlitos that's what you ordered anglicon gas and
milanesa napolitano which is a milanesa with tomato sauce and cheese like a schnitzel
yeah and i should also mention that this was our first time to rent a car in argentina and
it was a very positive experience um we've got a good price it's really hard to find automatic
cars here i'd say like over 90 or manual right yeah and so for us to actually find one was was
you know like a needle in the haystack almost the car ended up being great and allowed us
to kind of get around in the sierras of cordoba where there's a lot of windy roads and little
towns to visit also we had so many errands to do so it just made things so much easier so if you're
thinking of renting a car in argentina definitely consider it it really opens things up for you and
this won't be our last rental we're going to also rent a car later on in salta and then maybe even
another time on this trip so yeah there's overall positive experience and we're just tired hungry
waiting for food we still have four more hours to kill if you can believe it until we catch our bus
so yeah it's just one of those really long travel days guys but um yeah that's the update take a
look at that so i've got ham a layer of cheese a little bit of tomato sauce and some oregano
sprinkles on top guys my stomach hasn't been well for a few days the first time i felt really hungry
so i'm i'm taking a risk having a big meal right on the bus well good luck
probably i may regret this but
it's pretty good man it's not the best i've ever had but for plus terminal food it'll do
well well now we can say welcome to document we made it to the different officially we are
actually in the apartment it's only what like five blocks away from the bus terminal yeah we were
able to find a really nice place right downtown i think we're like a block and a half away from
the main square exactly and it's so it's nice to be in a nice big apartment again lots of space
there's actually two and a half bathrooms here oh what a luxury a toilet per person
and um i want to end off by showing you something cool in the kitchen there's like a quote here
a quote an inspiring quote yes it caught samuel jeffrey's attention i'll read it here for you life
is like a camera you focus on what's important capture the good times develop from the negative
and if things don't work out take another shot i don't why we don't we don't often end with a
life advice but i think that's a pretty good advice a little inspiration yeah
well good afternoon guys we have made it to tucuman here we are new place for us

so far it's been a fantastic lunch huh everything we've tried has been delicious i don't know how we
had room but two desserts guys look at this yeah so this one is the regional dessert it's basically
different types of sweets with cheese and nuts yeah personally i only recognize the figs and
then that's either like pumpkin or sweet potato and we have other fruits from the north that i
just i don't know the names i don't know what they are and then the other dessert we got is a layered
cake yeah and in between each layer you have dulce de leche which is kind of like a caramel made with
milk and you also have meringue why don't you guys try a bite of that that looks good too i
won't say no to that did we need two desserts probably not it's a sticky dessert let me see
it's like a caramelized brown sugar it's different yeah yeah definitely good definitely good
