Parrillero at work

Picture I took while spending the day in one of the estancia [Spanish and Portuguese word for the term ranch] on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. I believe for some of you, familiar with Argentinian’s traditions, the Asado [South American technique for cooking cuts of meat, which are cooked on a grill (parrilla) or open fire] is not a mystery anymore. For those who don’t know about it, click the complete Asado wikipedia article.

Parillero at work


Over looking our meal

I caught this bird of prey on camera while he was looking over the parilla. The bird’s called El Chimango
(Milvago chimango
).


Sunset by the lake

Another shot taken by the lake. This time around Atilio took the picture.


Laguna de Chascomús

The city of Chascomús is located at about 123 km south of the capital Buenos Aires. Currently the city’s main attraction is the lake. Fishing is a common activity together with Kitesurf and Windsurf. Took this picture at sunset on Saturday evening.
