One Man's Birthday Lunch



This man greatly enjoyed his birthday lunch of smoked wild boar, locatteli, and bread and a siesta on shores of Lago Espejo Chico in a rather remote part of the Argentine Andes with Chile just over the mountains. The sun was just warm enough for a good snooze, the lake was beautiful, and it ran out an even more beautiful river. Terrific. We only had to drive 100 kilometers on a dirt road to get there. The road eventually went to San Martin de Los Andes, on a bigger lake surrounded by mountains. Naturally, a birthday dinner had to follow -- black raviolis stuffed with trout and goat cheese for me -- yummy!!! Couldn't find chocolate cake, but went back out at tea time the day after and found some gooood stuff! A fine, fine birthday.
