Buenos Aires, Argentina
Maybe all of you know Argentina for the cattle ranches and Tango... Now that is thanksgiving to you, let me share a little story of pioneers in Argentina...

When the pioneers arrived they found really beligerant indians here. They founded the city, but soon they found themselves sieged by the indians and starving. Juan de Garay sent two ships upstream to see what they found... Upstream in Paraguay they found much better conditions and the indians were frendlier... They left upstream, but left the cattle here... When they came back down south to what is nowadays Buenos Aires the cattle had been roaming free and flourished in numbers never seen... This time they didn´t starve like the time before... and the second foundation of Buenos Aires took place... No wonder the best meat in the world is found here...
