Safe travels back to London. To bad it has gotten so bad there, so be safe and careful. Awesome job on educating your kids. They are learning more than they would in a classroom.

Your pictures of Argentina make my heart ache. From my age 7 to 11 1945-50 my family had a

very remote horse/pleasure/work ranch in Southern California. Argentina beckons,

Thank you

The Tacana is wonderful! I've already been consuming it for 6 vintages!

Completely agree, Tom. Have stacked cases of Tacana here, in case of emergency. Or thirst. It’s delicious.

Love the stories from Argentina. Bills stories during Covid kept me sane and now Mariah Bonners diaries from the valley continue that tradition. Its a nice break from the Financial markets.

I am interested in traveling to the Cal Valley next time it is spring down there. I live in southern US. If anyone is interested in putting together a group of Bonner friends, we could plan a trip and get together in Cafayate, and while you guys drink the wine, I'll be the designated driver! Maybe stay a week?

If interested, please let me know at Jawbone@sekur.com

Note: nothing to buy here. Just interested in seeing the valley as I was raised in NM amid the arid desert and mountains, and my wife doesn't like to travel that much!

Bon voyage, Tom! Bring a bottle home with you, packed extremely well.

Still waiting here "down under" for the ability to sample Bill's wine.

Have a safe trip back to London mate!

Looks like the country in southern Arizona where I spent my teen years after moving from place to place every 3 years or so. Country I grew to love and need to return to some day. Definitely won’t be like London

Hi Tom and family.

I have enjoyed reading about your stay there , would love to visit myself.

I really enjoy reading about your travels and am a little bit jealous of what your kids are experiencing.

Thanks Tom, it's been pretty cool sharing your adventures with us as part of the BPR crew! It's been a nice bonus. All the best to y'all back in London. Surely they'll be interesting goings on there to keep us in the loop here in the US.

Best Always.
