Last weekend, my Dad's colleague asked us to take a trip down to The Chubut River Dam with his family. He is married to a German and, as most Germans do, she and her two kids speak English. They have a 4 year old girl named Marlene and a 2 year old boy named Marcus, but everyone calls him Peppy, do to his extensive activeness. During the hour long car ride down to the dam, there was naturally lots of jumping, screaming, laughing and putting lollipops in everyone's hair. And since the Argentinians are so relaxed, and we only had a 6 seat car and eight people, no one had a seatbelt on:). Naturally, lots of crawling over people and sitting on laps and Peppy trying to get into the front of the truck. When we finally got there, there was a tunnel carved straight into the rock and through the tunnel was the dam. We had asado in the little village below the dam (not exactly the ideal place to live if the dam breaks) and took lots of pictures.
