After the heavy luncheon, entertainment, and dancing, we adjourned to a small set of bleachers to watch the gauchos and their ponies demonstrate their skills. It was great fun, and most of the women in the audience (including me) got a kiss on the cheek from a gaucho along with a souvenir "silver" ring that had been plucked from a string as he galloped past. Ronnie said I even blushed a little, but I think he was just teasing.
