We continue where we left off. The Asado at Arroyo Verde. 
English was kind enough to pour me a Pisco Sour. It was very strong so I kept adding ice cubes to it. 
Doesn’t that look refreshing! Si! Mi gusto mucho! 
The Asado started with these chunks of cheese melted over the fire. Yummy!
Next we had these interesting appetizers. What do you think is inside them? 
Inside was sausage. They weren’t too peppery for me. 
It was time to eat, so guess who got to the buffet first? Me, of course! I’m not really sure why this guy looked so grumpy. I am actually quite nice! 
Of course everyone knew that I was documenting our trip, so someone was kind enough to take my picture. I’m really not that fat, I look about four months pregnant in this picture! 
Remember when I said “Guess what’s in the pot?” It was steamed potatoes! 
There was a lovely green salad with tomatoes on the table. 
Another salad on the table was cole slaw. 
Meat and potatoes, you can’t get a better meal than that I managed to jump up and get a snapshot of our table. Starting at the 12 going clockwise are Steve, then Dennis from Canada, Katrina, Tim, Sarah, Charlie, Kathy, English, Marcus and then Marcus’s son. I sat between English and Marcus. 
Here is the view from over Steve’s shoulder. I really should bring a professional photographer as this lighting is terrible! We had very stimulating conversations, but no talk about polo or tango.
Here were the desserts. Flan with Dulce de leche, and quince jelly over cheese. 
After lunch was siesta time, and then I went for another walk. 
The views were incredible, so calming. 
Here is a panoramic view from my walk. 
There were quite a few woodsy areas on the estancia. Here we have a grove of pine trees with lots of pine cones on the ground. These pine cones weren’t anywhere as large as the cones by the fireplace in the dining room.
This is the beautiful fuchsia bush by our suite. I am used to hanging pots of fushia back home. This is what they look like growing naturally! 
It’s time for canapés and dinner again! 
How any guides and guests can you fit in the bar area? Two guests, and three guides!
It was time for another candle lit dinner party! You can see all the gorgeous silverware pieces on the hutch on the back wall. 
Here was dinner. I can’t remember much about it. I can identify that we had carrot soup, salad, something with a cream sauce and then possibly scalloped potatoes?
There were two tables at dinner, as there was a full house. I got to sit with the Argentinians and it was lots of fun. Half the stories were in Spanish and half in English.
That’s it for today. Have you ever been to an asado?
Carrot soup, you must have thought of me
We did!
I always do!
