International Mus Tournament Underway in Macachin
The forty-sixth annual International Mus Tournament began last Saturday September 27th, hosted by the Union Vasca in Macachin, La Pampa Argentina. Carmen Salaburu and Tony Huarte are representing NABO at the tournament accompanied by several Mus Groupies, and of course Mus Delegates Valerie Arrechea and Pierre Etcharren. The week-long event not only includes Mus games, but also a variety of activities and field trips for everyone involved. So far, they have visited a local pottery shop where they were able to paint their own bowls, salt flats, an artisanal market, a thermal spa, a flour mill and cheese factory, and a visit to the Euskal Etxea’s hippodrome where the local club hosts its picnics. While there, they watched gauchos who keep those traditions alive and even demonstrated how they break horses. Every night they have been treated to wonderful local food, and entertainment. Our friends from Canada, are being represented as well by Julia Etchart Christy and Patxi Altuna from Vancouver. We wish everyone much luck and know that you are enjoying yourselves regardless! For standing updates, visit NABOlehendakaria on Facebook. The complete program of activities is also available here. Sorte on deneri!
