Meeting Amazing People

by April:

The beauty of living in a tourist town with a tourist business is the pleasure of meeting amazing people from all over the world. First, I come to Marie-France, a woman traveling by herself for several months in Argentina originally from France now living in California. She won my heart immediately when she came in on a hot day and we shared a beer, then she changed travel plans just to stay and spend more time with us. We went to one of my favorite places, Museo de Pachamama (an amazing museum in Amaicha de Valle only about 60k from Cafayate, which is a story all in itself). From then it just keeps growing, wonderful people from Buenos Aires that invited Charlie and I to actually stay at their house, a couple from London that is trying to convince us to come and visit, a group of Czech (which neither spoke a similar language) but we all had fun the same. A traveling brother and sister from the states that are traveling all over Argentina. A couple originally from the states, living in Bariloche, moving to Cafayate (people with our own hearts!) The list goes on and on from there. I love this part of life!

Now, the real part is, meeting amazing people right here in town. We have been fortunate enough to meet people in this small community that were essential in helping us start our business. They only helped us for the sake of wanting to see us succeed, anytime we ran in to a road block, someone jumped in and helped or supported us in some way. On a daily basis we are blessed with someone from Cafayate coming to our restaurant, telling us they love our food, atmosphere, and they love coming here. People are truly so nice here. I'm so glad we have found a town that you can enjoy peoples company. Of course every town has its downsides but I'll have to say, every good experience we have had - outways any bad experience we have ever run in to.
