On the way out we happened to drive by a rodeo so we stopped to take a look.
We found a great camping spot on the edge of a ridge overlooking a river, and we had incredible sunrises and sunsets over the mountains.
Because the park is known for its population of pumas, we were on the lookout during hikes. We found lots of huge paw-prints in the dirt:
The park also has a few flocks of a parrots, so everyone once in a while we'd look up and see huge numbers of brightly colored birds flying by.
A couple of weeks ago the elementary school music teacher put on an assembly to show her students how music becomes a life-long hobby for people. She asked us (along with a bunch of other staff members) to perform at a "concert" she organized. Here's a pic of Claire and I playing Journey, Guns-n-Roses, and Metallica at about 9:00am on a Tuesday morning to a room full of 8-year olds:
In other news, Claire's coaching season for basketball is coming to a close (final tournament next weekend) and my season coaching futbolito (7 v 7 soccer) is over in a few more weeks. The two of us are excited to be part of an indoor soccer tournament this month on Wednesday nights, and we've been happy to have a consistent gringo pick-up basketball game on Tuesday and Thursday mornings before work. I'm looking forward to heading to Charleston, SC for Jack and Linwood's wedding next weekend, and the following weekend Claire and I are going to head back to Buenos Aires.
We hope everyone is doing well. Happy Mother's Day!
