Argentina Day 1

A family that lives in Argentina was nice enough to let me stay in their house for three days while I learn about their everyday life. They live on a farm where they grow wine. Argentina produces more than 4 million gallons of wine annually, because its soil is so good and fertile. For the first day I decided to go out and explore the scenery and wildlife of Argentina. I went to some areas that were not densely populated and immediately started to see wildlife. The 270,200 acres of humid marshlands are home to swamp deer, turtles, alligators, monkeys, and capybaras, the world’s largest rodent. I also saw llamas and alpacas that live in Argentina’s mountains. In rural patagonia, I saw a very rare Patagonian gray fox. The waters of Argentina are rich with marine life too. They have many fish including bass and trout. I even saw a group of dolphins swimming around. After I was done traveling around Argentina, I returned back to the house. When I got home, I found that the mother of the family had prepared dinner for all of us. For dinner, we had a grilled steak with an herb sauce. Then for dessert we had a dish called chocotorta, which is a layered cake made with chocolate and cream cheese.
