Tres Fronteras - Arriving in Argentina













Breakfast in Paraguay, lunch in Brazil and dinner in Argentina. After quite a day of border crossings to finally get to Puerto Iguazu - our first taste of Argentina - we thought it only polite to treat ourselves to a parilla (BBQ) and a good bottle (or 3 as it ended up) of Malbec. The Chirizo (like a sirloin but better) is the cut to have, smother on some Chiri (herbs and spices) and pour a glass of vino tinto. The best so far has been the vino La Linda, a complex flavour and the very best the label says, like his mother, Pete commented after a few glasses.

With bottles of vino at $1.50 in the supermarket, we're working our way through the local vineyard offerings and are on the third night of steak dinners. When in Argentina...!
