Journey to "la tierra colorada"

Monica and I were graciously invited to represent the Patagonian congregations in a special Christian Education event hosted by the district of Misiones. We traveled nearly 2000 miles each way by bus -- leaving 1pm on a Thursday afternoon to arrive 8am on Saturday.

The looooooooooooong journey was well worth it -- exciting for both of us to see a part of this beautiful country neither of us had seen before. Now I understand why Argentinos sigh and say "Ah, la tierra colorada" (colored earth) when a journey to Misiones is mentioned. Check out these gorgeous red clay roads and vibrant emerald green trees . . . Ah . . .
