I woke up before everyone feeling a little sad. I knew that the trip was coming to a end. Today was the day that we would feast at a local eatery that specializes in steak. The Patagonian region is known for its cattle herding, which means the steak and meat are very good. I woke up all of the boys. We all got up, and went down to the lobby for breakfast. We hopped in the elevator and stood in silence until I ripped a big fart. They all covered their faces knowing it was going to be stinky. We went to the buffet in the lobby and got our food. I sat down and had the best idea, "We should go ride horses and eat steak today!" They all stare like I'm some kind of genius and say, "Heck yea!" We quickly ate and went up to the room to do some research. I went on my laptop and searched "Horse-back riding Patagonia Mountains." Millions of things came up, and I found a two hour excursion through the wilderness of Patagonia. Mason found a steak house called "El Boliche de Alberto." This place was a five star restaurant that was know for amazing food. (FOOD) Everyone was very happy that we could actually do something today. We were not afraid of going over our budget because we still hadn't used all of our money. In fact we still had a lot of money between all of use because we would only find deals on things we did. We watched videos for about an hour then drove an hour to the horseback riding place. The name of the place was "Horse Riding Patagonia." We walked in and wrote our names down and signed a contract saying if we die it's not their fault. We took our seats and waited to be called. It was about 1:00 p.m. when our time came up. We got fitted with our helmets and it took John and me 25 minutes to find a good fitting helmet because of our melon heads. We then got to pick our horse, and I saw the most amazing thing in my life: a huge all black horse. I ran over and claimed it, and I felt like a boss.
John and James chose brown horses, but there was a problem. There weren't any more horses, so Mason had to ride a PONY. He hopped on the pony and we all started laughing because he looked so stupid. Our guide on the trip was named Pedro. He told us he grew up in this region of Argentina and had lived here his whole life. We rode through the countryside for about 20 minutes and then we arrived at the mountains. The terrain was very round and Mason's pony looked like it was about to die. We slowly made our way up up up and up until we reached a plateau. (Natural Environment) When we made it there, we saw the most amazing view of the trip, the view of the Patagonia Mountains. "It looks like downtown New York City," Mason said on his little pony.
We sat there for about 25 minutes, and in that time Pedro pulled out sandwiches for us to eat. We sat there and ate lunch and looked at the astonishing view. Pedro then said, "Ehhhh homes, we got to move, ehhhh there we only have a hour left esssey." We all hopped up and got on our horses and Mason got on his pony. We did our big loop back to the place we started. We all got off our horses at the shop and knew that was amazing. We went in the shop, and read all of these papers saying how important horses are to Argentina. (History) It talked about how people used the horses for transportation, herding, and utility work. It said if the horse weren't there the native and local people would not thrive like the did. The horse also sprung up into a sport around this area including rodeo riding and racing. These two sports became some of the biggest sports in Argentina. We all tipped Pedro for his nice job today, and paid the tour shop $200 for the tour. We hopped in the car and went home. We went to the hotel room and crashed for about two hours. We woke up at about 5:00 p.m, and showered before dinner. We got into our fancy clothes because we were going out to eat. John actually found out that Argentina is the largest consumer of beef in the world. So that must mean that it is really good. We all went down to the lobby and got into the car. We drove ten minutes to El Boliche de Alberto. We walked in and waited for a table. We got a table. We sat down and ordered our drinks. I wanted to prank Mason so I said I was going to the bathroom. I really wasn't. I went over to the beautiful hostess and said, "Hey my friend Mason over there thinks you are really pretty." She didn't even respond and went over to Mason and gave him a big kiss on the lips. I thought the prank was going to go the other way, but it actually helped instead of making Mason mad. We all then ordered gigantic T-bone steaks. We waited 45 minutes for the steaks and then they finally came.
When we saw them bring the steaks to us, we were in shock at how big they were. Then we dug in like Fred Flintstone. We didn't talk for the rest of the dinner because we were so focused on the steak. We all devoured our meal and felt like dinosaurs. We all talked about the steak and how good it was for around 20 minutes. When we asked for the check, we saw something missing. They only charged us for three steaks. The woman came up and said, "Mason's steak is free." We were all laughing so hard because Mason had just got a local woman to like him! We paid the check and the total was $56.00. After we paid we watched Mason say good by to his lover, and watched them kiss again. We hopped in the car. We drove to the hotel and we all hopped into bed. We all went to bed knowing that this was a amazingly good night.
