Brrr! It’s cooled down here, which means it’s the perfect time for some hot chocolate.
In San Martín de los Andes (and in Bariloche too), you’ll find a chocolate store or cafe on every block. They’ve got it all: chocolate ice cream, chocolate fudge, chocolate liquor. Very delicious and very dangerous. So far our favorite place is Abolengo on San Martín and Drury, which is where this hot chocolate was from. But we still have many more places to try!
A chilly day is perfect for some reading. Here are some good reads to close out your weekend:
- What Is The Funniest Joke In The World? (NPR)
- Highly Educated Countries Have Better Governments (The Atlantic)
- An Interview With Chile’s Incoming President, Michelle Bachelet (Slate)
Close, but not really. Here we are in Cuenca, Ecuador … right up the block from San Martin de los Andes. No hot chocolate here, but I may have to look harder. Great Panama hats though, which are from Ecuador, not Panama. I tried to check out the websites you added, but the damn things don’t work here. I think it has to do with being in Ecuador, but not sure. Many things to learn, and technology is just one of them.
No Brrr! its cooled up here ~!~
Proof of authenticity … yes?
Keep the trip a chuglin’

Can’t wait to hear more about the trip, Ben! Say hi to Dee.
