The Meat Cart

This cart was found inside a meat store behind a service counter in Los Andes Chile. Los Andes is a small town 1 hour away from Portillo. We stayed in Los Andes because Hotel Portillo was full over the weekend. Generally you have to book Portillo for a week and they only offer less then 1 week stays last minute if space is available. Staying in Los Andes gave us more options for food and wine, but we are surprised at how expensive Chile is compared to Argentina. In Mendoza this cart might cost $50 and in Chile they would charge you $200. I wonder how much the meat would cost in the US?

Anyway, the butcher was cracking up when I took this picture. I guess it's normal to stack a cart with a chopped up cow.
