Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
Colonia del Sacramento – For those who travel, it’s not surprise that there are visas, and that these expire. Depending on the country, these expire after varying lengths of time, and can be renewed via various methods. In Argentina, a tourist visa expires every three months from the date you enter the country. Although I’m… Read More Back to the Town Time Forgot
Buenos Aires – Hang around this city long enough and someone is sure to recommend El Cuartito, Talcahuano 937, in the Centro area, as ONE OF THE, if not THE, best pizza places in town. One local wag who pops up on blogs and various websites every now and again spent four paragraphs on one… Read More Pizza, Pasta, and a Tree

That’s a pretty big claim in a city that specializes in steakhouses. Having heard it more than once, I’d decided to… Read More Energy and Steak
Buenos Aires – I had this whimsical idea for part of my wanderings of the city. Virtually every street here is named after an event, a person, or another place. It’s not one of those cities where you find things like Meadowlark Lane or Blueberry Hill. So why not pick a theme and gradually cover… Read More Paint By Numbers 1
Buenos Aires – Met up with a new friend for lunch. He’s visiting from India with an eye towards moving here. I’ve been wanting to continue my vegetarian restaurant research (not that either of us is vegetarian, but it had come up), and we’d discussed trying one of the couple of Indian vegetarian options, but… Read More Creative Organic
