The Beginning of Life in “La Docta”
¡Hola y Bienvenidos a todos! (Hello and welcome everyone!) I am so excited to share this journey in Córdoba, Argentina with you all. Many say that Argentina is like lots of little countries combined into one because of its many diverse regions. From the gauchos (the cowboys/ranchers of Argentina) of Jujuy to the icebergs in Tierra del Fuego (The End of the World...aka the southernmost point in South America), there's so much to explore!
