When we left Neuquén Saturday morning it was windy with blowing dust. We headed west towards the mountains. After a couple of hours the terrain changed from the flat, scrubby desert that we have been driving through for the last several days, to foothills as we started to go up into the Andes. Eventually our road turned to gravel and we could see the snow covered peaks.
We are staying for the next two nights in Villa Pehuenia. Our hotel, Posada La Escondida is a beautiful lodge on a mountain lake. We have a room right on the lake with wonderful views of the mountains and the lake.
For dinner we went just a little ways down the shore to El Marino Amarrado. We had a great view of the sunset and a delicious meal. Duke and Brian had empanadas and salad and Jo Ann and I had lamb.
