The 12 steps of an Asado (better than any 12 steps I've ever heard)

Step 1: Have friends like Elizabet (Lichi), whose father is a great asador (bar-b-q man), and who also happens to have a log cabin in the sierras near Cordoba! Then hop on a bus with your friends and neighbors on Sunday morning to travel past Carlos Paz and into the sierras.

Step 2 (after arrival): Make a fire in an outdoor handmade brick oven

Step 3: Prepare the meat

Step 4: Place some of the meat in the oven for that smoked sausage flavor.

Step 5: Look hungry

Step 6: Smell the delicious goodness that will soon be entering into your mouth.

Step 7: Act like you are making a difference

Step 8: Stare in utter amazement

Step 9: Eat, but don't take a picture because you will have to put down your fork and knife

Step 10: Try to take a siesta with a crying baby who had his siesta during the partaking of the delicious goodness... Praise be to God!

Step 11: Drink some great camp coffee, before jaunting off on a

two hour hike through the sierras.

Step 12: Thank God for a refreshing time, and for giving a great idea of returning for a camp out with more people we are reaching out to.

Maté

I don't know how we live in the U.S. without maté... maybe we are not really living?

Happy Moments of Life

One of the lakes in Valle de Calumuchita, outside of the city of Cordoba

The Waterfall at a German Colony called "La Cumbrecita"

We took the short-term team there as part of Christmas in July... later we also had a secret santa gift exchange.
