Puttering in Bariloche

Today we didn’t do anything special. We just puttered around and eventually went and visited a museum on the history of chocolate. It was interesting because the tour was in Spanish so I had to listen very closely – good practice!  What worked better, was trying to read the signs in Spanish, much of which I could actually understand though it took time for me to read them.

After the chocolate museum, we had to stop for another pint at the Berlina Ceveceria which turned out to be very nice and relaxing and we finished up the day by having a quiche at home for dinner that we had bought at the Todo (grocery store, ‘todo’ means ‘all’).




Wholly giant pot of chocolate!

If they cut back the trees we would have had an even better view.
