Having lots of time off in Rio Grande is giving us a chance to get to know more about Argentinian culture. A couple of nights ago we were treated to an asado, a traditional way of cooking meat, a bit like a BBQ on a grand scale. The asado is a feature inside the house that takes up part of a room! It’s huge and the size of the meat that you cook is also massive! We did have a few sausages, but everything else that was cooked was a slab from a cow. It was cooked slowly over an hour and a half and it was delicious.

Yesterday we took a drive down the coast to the south of here to look at the coast we will be kayaking past later on. It is neap tides at the moment and the tide still goes out a very very long way!

On Friday we will drive down to Ushuaia with Monica & Marcelo and spend the weekend looking around. We hope to start kayaking early next week, depending on how Barry´s wrist feels. By then we will have had almost 2 weeks off kayaking. Its a long time but Barrys wrist needs time to repair fully. When we start kayaking again, it will be our last chance  to continue with the trip this year, and Barry is anxious not to do any lasting damage to his wrist.
