Glenn's South American Oddssy

Gaucho Antonio Gil
Today I was a the Road Side monument to Gauechue Gil
what a site , I am quite surprised by how many people visit this
place , for a man who was a modern day Robin Hood who created
a legend and too this day most truck driver and others passing stop
to pay homage too .
After spending some time on the road in Argentina and seeing these
road side shrines it got me to wonder what it was all about and after
a few questions all is reviled ,a man who ? Amy deserter come outlaw
who stole from the rich land owner and shared his spoils with the poor
who inturn gave him shelter though the law did catch him and he was
hung by the feet and be headed and obtained sainthood
Before his death Gil told his executioner that his son was very ill
and that if he was buried that his son would recover well the
soldier who killed Gil returned to find that his son was ill and then
promptly returned and buried Gil and his son quickly recovered and
the legend was born and too this day people from allover Argentina
come to seek favor from Gil
