We are now in Bariloche!
After a 21-hour bus ride, 1,569 kilometers, and lots of carbs, we made it. We used the Via Bariloche bus service, and the food was, well, awful. Breakfast was toast, bread, two croissants, and a muffin. I only had the croissants and bread, along with a banana we’d brought. For supper, they served pasta, flan, dulce de leche, rice, some type of meat, and cheese. Since we’d had supper already—take-out from Habibi Cocina Arabe that took faaaar to long to get yesterday—we were full. Supper was an Arabic salad, vegetables, falafel, and rice.
As our lunch today, we had chocolate ice cream and truffles. Sounds delicious, right? It was!
We had to walk all the way down the hill again to pizza after seeing that the Afghan-restaurant-that-was-Argentinean-cuisine-not-Afghan was too expensive for our taste. First we stopped by a market, where I bought the hat of my dreams which I will use for skiing at Willamette Pass when we get home.
Speaking of which, it’s open and the slopes are beckoning with seven feet of snow at the top! I wish I could go, but at least I got to ski in Dubai.
Anyway, the pizza was really cheesy, as Argentinean pizza typically is, but the salad and jugo de naranja were good as usual.
Ciao!
Hey Eryn,
Today I have off for MLK Jr. Day. So instead of going to classes I spent time catching up on your travels. You went skiing in Dubai! I have not yet gone skiing this year. Candace and I are waiting for the spring lift ticket rates to start. We’ll be spending much of spring break skiing. Next season we will have to go on a ski trip together!
Looking forward to reading more about your adventures!
