Back from Argentina

[Rapier]

We are now back from the wilds of Argentina, almost in one piece. I did leave a piece of molar in a restaurant in Cordoba and arrived back in country with an upp er respitory infection. But a great time was had by all, regardless.

We were gone for 10 days and shot birds for 5 of the 10 days including two days in the Perdiez fields. The final four that made the trip shot 21,500 shells.

This was my first trip with Junior Maers and Ariel Goldman as outfitters. Junior is the former manager for Treck and Ariel is the former manager for Sier Safari. They both are great guys and the facilities were the best I have seen in Argentina, new, modern and very clean. I loved the American electrical system with 110 wall plugs in every room.

The food was; Well if I told you you would think it a lie, but here goes anyway. The chef is Oscar Kahan (Le Cordon Bleu) who cooked at the White House for a year. I mean, really, unexpected is an understatement and superior does not begain to describe the meals. Just one memorable dish; perdiez in a paper thin crepe' with a white sauce wine reduction..... It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Every day it was a race back to the lodge to see what new magic Oscar had come up with. His mesquite grilled beef tenderloin with grilled Argentine sausages and gormet potato salad was simply amazing.

Here is a photo of my son's blind on day 4.
