Asado

In Uruguay, cows outnumber people three to one, and beef production is a key industry. People here are immensely proud of the top quality beef they produce. On Saturday night, Jen and I partook in a key Uruguayan tradition: asado. An asado is a cookout where friends get together and cook lots of beef over wood embers. The beef we ate was the most delicious I have ever tasted, and we ate until we could not take another bite. Take a look at some photos we took. At the end of the night, Jen took a spill when her plastic chair buckled and broke under the weight of the steak in her stomach. Ouch!
