Asado!

Venetia and I were the only ones who called it Boxing Day, but we celebrated December 26 very well!

First, we finally had our day of shopping and wandering in Pinamar, which was quite successful. As my sister-in-law Elise always says, we managed to get some money spent!

Then when we got home, it was time for our asado, the traditional Argentine barbecue. Here are some photos that show how it’s built into the wall on the other side of the kitchen. This is Luis doing the cooking. We had lots of meat, as well as veggies as we have a couple of vegetarians among us — yes, they do exist in Argentina!

By the time we finished all that eating and drinking it was time to fall into bed!

There were a lot of birds of prey in our backyard. I believe they are a kind of hawk, but Lina, who knows a lot about birds, says here they are called caracara. Anyway, this was a very lucky shot. Although not in sharp focus, it did catch it in flight.
