March 8th: It is now 5 days later and we find ourselves at the Windsor Hotel in Cordoba, this hotel is not cozy. Our expansive room with matching windows overlooks a plaza and the facade of a typical neoclassical style church. We have learned a lot in the past days about the food here.

Our best meal was yesterday at a small restaurant in Oliva on highway 9 about 75 Kilometers from Cordoba. We had been driving for about 4 hours from Rosario through the Pampas. The Pampas is sort of like our agricultural Midwest. There is a huge farm machinery show going on at the moment called Feriagro Argentina. Check it out to get a feeling for mega-agriculture here. The exposition grounds seemed to take up a square mile and we passed trucks all day carrying every imaginable type of farm machinery. Anyway back to our best meal at “La Nonna”. It was a reminder that good food takes good product, a good cook, and a good waiter.
