Beto and his wife Cecilia invited us and Andrew's team to their home in the county outside of Mendoza for an asado. It was a beautiful two hour drive through the vineyards outside of Mendoza. The Andes can be seen in the distance rising out of the desert much like the east side of the Sierra. Beto and Cecilia were outstanding hosts for our all day eating fest! We started with Fernet and Coke while Beto cooked the meat on the parilla. When the meat was ready 15 of us sat down together for a long, slow feast. For our first dessert, Cecilia brought out plates of cherries they had picked the day before. When our bellies were full, we all went for a small 5 minute walk to the river and then on a drive to see the town park. After our outing we returned to the house to eat again. We ended the feast with pastries, more Coke, and mate. Thank you Beto and Cecilia for a perfect Argentine Sunday!
