Yes, my friends. I am in Buenos Aires, but one part of my heart is on the island and my blog is still alive...
Arriving to my beautiful city during a very mild winter (13°C) but extremely humid (average 80% to 90% humidity every day), the days are perfect for cappuccinos and croissants every morning and spectacular food the rest of the day.
Fantastic for me because I should gain some of the weight I lost. (The day I arrived I verified in my bathroom scale that my current weight is 105 lbs. kind of 10 lbs below my ideal weight...) So with that and the local prices that are much better than in GDT (although higher than last February because inflation is huge while the government lies about it but that is a subject for my traveler log not this one...) I decided to eat well.
However some of the tastes of the good sweet things here remind me of the fantastic brownies and rum cake of the Salt House Cafe. I am not a fan of chocolate except in two things: Ferrero Roche bombons and brownies. I remember the first time I tried those amazing brownies that Phyllis make...
OMG I asked her to prepare a dozen to have in my freezer to henjoy during Xmas and New Year's week... they did not last more than 3 days... and even when they are really big!
So, since the Salt House Cafe is now open on cruise ship days and these weeks there will be some, my advice for you, it is to take your time and go to the café and for breakfast, dessert or just with a very good cappuccino, spiced tea or something like that and have a brownie, rum cafe, bread pudding or any of the other great things (not only sweet stuff: the wraps, sandwiches, salads, lunch specials) together with the iced tea, lemonade, teas, sodas, or beers.
You can also enjoy the things you can find at the gift shop. Two very interesting things for me: 1) The women t-shirts are actual women sizes! not those huge t-shirts only good for sleeping... 2) The little bags that you can prepare with salt stones to make your own potpourri are very nice and the price is excellent: between 3 and 5 dollars. It's on the cemetery road, between the white church with red roof and the Windmills Plaza and yes, there are signs on the road and on the front :)
