Update
November 20, 2014:
Got an early start to a beautiful day, clear skies and moderate wind. First leg of the days journey was to Perito Moreno and then a 35 mile ride west to Los Antiguos to get a view of Lago Buenos Aires.

They seem to be very skidish and don't appreciate having their photo taken. This area is sheep country and there's hundreds of miles of fence on each side of the road. Any of the animals I approached along the road would run off and jump the fence:

Lunch stop: Usually I buy a sandwich, ham & cheese, in the morning while I'm getting fuel and then stop somewhere along the way, around 2pm and have lunch. I carry two nalgene bottles, one with water and one with wine, red.

The wind was blowing crazy strong when I woke and it never let up. Had a stretch of gravel ahead of me and with the wind it would be difficult riding on pavement let alone gravel. Decided to stay put and hope for better conditions the next day.

Correction to Nov 16 post: When I crossed back into Argentina going to Bariloche I took photos of what I thought were different lakes and posted, one big lake after another. I viewed my map later and saw it's all one big lake, Lake Nahuel Huapi which Bariloche is on.
