Ashley Miller and the Wheaton (Massachusetts) field hockey team recently returned from Argentina.
On Thursday of our trip down to Argentina, the team had the chance to experience a more authentic and traditional side of Argentina. We visited Estancia Santa Susana, which was a ranch outside of the city and we were able to see a gaucho show. Directly after the visit to the ranch, we headed off to our final game against the club team CUBA. Unfortunately we lost the game, but after the game we had dinner with the other team and as a gift our team gave our jerseys to the other team and some of us got them in return.
On our last free day of the trip, some of us decided to stay poolside while others decided to do some last minute shopping, but after all of that we had our Farewell Dinner as a team with the owner of the company as well as our tour manager.
As our team trip came to a close on Saturday, we decided that a great end to a great week would be to see the Under-21 U.S. National Team versus the Under-21 Argentina Team. It was an intense game and after the game the US. .team came over to us and we talked and took a couple of pictures before dispersing to the weekend market before our plane took off to head back to New York. All in all, the trip was amazing, the country was gorgeous, the field hockey was great, and I would recommend this trip to any college field hockey team.
