This is really just a test. I want to see if I can remember how to do this. It has been a long time since we posted anything.
This picture is of a guacho between Vichadero and Tacuarembo. We had taken a wrong turn, or rather we had missed a turn, and had just crossed the Rio Negro river on Ruta 44 to Melo. We stopped and asked this gaucho for directions. He knew all about the country and the highways, and was able to give us good directions. He was very friendly and helpful. He was happy to let us take his picture. Notice the bridle on the horse. It looked like it was hand braided. The horse was well disciplined. You can also see the sheepskin that they use as part of the saddle. Looks comfortable. His poncho covered him and all of his saddle. He looked dry, even though it had been raining quite hard for some time.
