I left you yesterday halfway through the Asado. We had two more courses of meat. Now that’s my kind of meal, meat, meat, and more meat! 
I love the little touches here. Even the forks and knives used at lunch have the Tipiliuke mark on them! 
Dessert was yummy as usual. It will be interesting to see how much weight I gain this vacation. I am a little less active than at home. Of course I could always go fishing with Steve all day, and wade those rivers. That burns a lot of calories. But if I did that, there would be no blog! 
A beautiful bowl of fruit is passed at dessert for those people who aren’t into the high caloric treats. Or, you could be like me and eat both! 
In the afternoon there is always a set up of coffee and tea with cookies in the living room. 
Steve had free time in the afternoon between fishing sessions. I convinced him to come look at River House. Doesn’t he look happy? He hasn’t even seen the stream yet!
Steve is checking out the river. The house comes with a mile of river frontage. The sale of River House to the Lants was not to be. It was a fun dream while it lasted! Does anyone have a bridge in Brooklyn they want to try to sell me? 
This is Kevin’s truck. I got to ride in it a lot. I think they go through tires and shocks pretty often. The roads are very bumpy! 
While Steve went to his late afternoon and fish until dark session, I asked to go to St. Marin de los Andes. Guess where I went? You got it, a supermarket! There were no doubts that I would get my visit, was there? This supermarket had everything! 
School starts next week, so all the uniforms were out. In Argentina, the children wear white smocks. Pens, markers, and other school paraphernalia were in the bins. 
This is the vegetable aisle. 
Chicken looks like chicken everywhere! 
The butcher was hard at work. 
I looked for some of the fancy Pisco Sour bottles that we saw in Chile, but only the Easter Island Brand was available. 
There were lots of Coke products. 
Mary Jo told me that this was a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise. I told her that I had never heard of Salsa Golf before!
Potato Chips are everywhere!
In America this soup is called “Cup A Soup”. 
There were many brands of Dulce De Leche. 
Mary Jo said that the cereal aisle was really limited compared to the United States. She was correct! 
The toilet paper here had some pretty high class names!
Mary Jo told me that most of the empanadas are made with store brought crusts. That way all you had to do was fill and bake or fry. 
While I was at the grocery store Steve caught this beautiful rainbow. He ended up with 26 fish for the day. During the last hour of daylight they hit a Yellow May Fly hatch, and he did very well. This photo was taken at 8:12 pm! 
Steve finally made it back and we could eat dinner. My time stamp shows that this picture was taken at 9:56! I told you that we ate dinners late here. Back home I would be in bed with a book! 
Dinner was salmon, green beans and tomatoes. 
We had a chocolate cake for dessert.
Now might be a good time to talk about the guests at Tipiliuke. While we were here we met people from Mexico, Germany, England, and the United States. In talking to Kevin and Mary Jo, we learned that a former president has stayed here. Within the last year, one of the richest men in America stayed here also. When VIPs stay, they buy out the whole Estancia for their entourage. The President didn’t sleep in my room, so I can’t say that I slept in a Presidential bed or used the same toilet that he did!
That’s all for Tuesday!
