The above picture is Megan, Coco and Gavin walking in an area, near our house, where the alpaca, Copper, lives. Evan will be seeing quite a few alpacas, guanacos and llamas in his new area of . . .Tierra del Fuego. After 7 months of living in the warmer climate of San Pedro, about 100 km. from Buenos Aires, he was transferred about 3500 km. south to the town of Rio Grande in Tierra del Fuego. Tierra del Fuego is an archipelago with a main island, which is where Rio Grande is. Tierra del Fuego is about the same size as West Virginia and is at the very bottom of Argentina, separated from the mainland by the Strait of Magellan. Evan was just transferred 5 days ago so we don't have any pictures yet. Stay tuned for those.
Evan really liked his last companion in San Pedro, Elder Tidei, from Mendoza, Argentina. Elder Tidei was a very good soccer player and on p-days, they would all have some pretty competitive soccer games.
On one of Evan's last p-days in San Pedro, he and his companion went to the San Pedro zoo.
Elder Tidei, Evan and good friend, Matias Maru, shared a lunch together. The Maru family "adopted" Evan in San Pedro and he is very sad to leave them. But we will visit them when we go to pick up Evan. We so appreciate all that the Maru family does for the missionaries.
One of their p-day trips was to Vuelta de Obligado Monument, commemorating a historic battle. At the site, there is a jungle area where Evan and Elder Tidei climbed trees.
These were some of the roads that Evan would ride on outside of San Pedro.
One of the best parts about Argentina is the barbeques (or asado) that they have. Evan really appreciates the great beef that they have in Argentina. But now it is onto the land of penguins and glaciers. He will be there in Tierra del Fuego for a little while, and most likely during the height of winter. Evan will have to buy some warmer clothing, as shorts, t-shirts and Chaco sandals won't cut it there.

Argentina is a place I've never been to - we seem to stay in the countries Harry knows. But it looks like a place I'd like to go to!
