One of the best parts of our travels is meeting new people. Some are headed in the direction in which we came and others are travelling the same route. By far, my favorite experience with new friends has been the traditional Argentine asado. Asado is both a method of grilling and a social event, and since we've stayed at many campgrounds, we've had access to many grills... and some of the best meat I've ever had.
Here are some pictures of us grilling in El Chalten, Argentina, our second asado experience (the first was in a campground in
El Bolsón with a group of Canadians).

| 10 lbs of lamb (a whole rib), 2 blood sausages, 2 chicken sausages, and some veggies |
And to give you an idea of how cold it was that night in the campground... here is a picture of our frosted tent at 9 o'clock the next morning.
Luckily, we learned from our
last experience and went into town to rent sleeping bags. Real sleeping bags. We stuffed our own bags into the new ones and slept very comfortably, no need for an emergency blanket this time. And since our bellies were still stuffed with asado in the morning, there was no reason to go very far. After a quick look at the frost we retreated back into the tent and our warm sleeping bags, closed the flap, and slept peacefully for a few more hours.
Cheers,
Tom
