Our first dinner/steak experience here was amazing, which started at 10 pm , which down here is like going out for the "blue hair special at 5 pm).......I think I might bring the restaurants concept back home. As you walk into Payuca, you are greeted w/ the brillant aroma's of beef , chicken and sausage, which u see grilling on an open fire immediately to your left. Huge slabs of beef, up to 2 feet are sloooowwwllly cooking to perfection while small, stout little blood sausages slow drip juice and make beautiful crackling noise's. The hostess brings you upstairs to another seating area next to a play ground! Yes parents, an upscale restaurant w/ a playground, with an arcade w/ the likes of Ms. Pacman and Gallaga.....(rob stay out, it is for the children only), a huge seaworld like jumpy w/ thousands of plastic balls, arts, crafts, and finally a childsize phoosball table(I had visions of Alasdair hogging up the table, bumping kids and screaming victory chants at them while schooling the poor little things at fuseball). Jen and I had a nice quiet dinner while the kids went nuts. We started off the night w/ local beers and a beautiful mixed green salad. We opted to try two different cuts of meat, the flank steak and a large slab of beef tenderloin fillet. Both were incredible, with a hint of game but nothing like the free range beef we buy in the US. The fillet was extremely juicy and cooked to perfection. The Flank was a different cut then we are accustomed to back home. It was delicious, especially when dipped into the various salsa's and chimmichurri sauces. We also had papas fritas that were to die for.....Steak and french fries...what else do we need? Dinner was washed down w/a La Linda 07 Cab, very nice but a lot different than the Napa Cab's we are accustomed to. The kids had delicioius pumpkin/cheese ravioli's with a red sauce. Back home this meal would have been $150+++ , we snuck out for $80 - we weren't allowed to tip.....with left overs which I am enjoying for breakfast at 1 pm..........until our next meal........just remember, "It ain't easy....being Cheesey!"

Unfortunately, I would say it would be the Argies schooling me in fussball; much the same as they do on the slightly larger pitch. Sounds like you are having a great time.
