Aretxabaleta, Gipuzkoa. Larraitz and Gari, and their children Inder (9) and Euri (7) arrived in Argentina from Artxabaleta last December to stay through April.  They wanted to visit family and friends, (this wasn´t their first trip and remain in close contact with this side of the ocean) and they also wanted to do some traveling.  They have covered thousands of miles and have visited iconic places like the Iguazú Falls, Ushuaia and Calafate and others perhaps not as famous, but that left them stories to tell, such as Pehuajó.

The main objective of the trip was for Larraitz to work in an internship as a teacher at El Bolson, in the Patagonia province of Rio Negro. They got the first news about the Coronavirus, which became a pandemic in March.  They followed prevention measure and then decided their return to stay in self-quarantine at home.

Since an image is worth a thousand words, they created this video accompanied with dance and song.  As Larraitz told us, “On egin” (enjoy!).


[The song playing is Dantza Gaua, by Dupla from Agurain]
