The Gaucho

On the floor under his feet
Fodor's Guide lay open.
THE GAUCHO ACQUIRED AN EXAGGERATED NOTION
OF MASTERY OVER
HIS OWN DESTINY FROM THE SIMPLE ACT OF RIDING ON HORSEBACK
WAY FAR ACROSS THE PLAIN.

Gauchos have a culture of their own, indeed. In Pôrto Alegre on a Sunday I loved to watch the gaúchos come in to town and swagger with attitude across the praça in their bombachas (gaucho pants), a large knife tucked in their belt on one side--and their cell phone on the other. Quite a show. Definitely macho. Women are to be pretty and follow.
