More Bariloche!!!


The food in Bariloche is great. Food is essential to the well-being of all. But Bariloche goes above and beyond the nutrition factor and makes it almost necessary to have all the adventure activities in order to work off the tons of kilos you gain while in the city. The food here is Swiss inspired, since Bariloche used to be a Swiss settlement. The best food is the fondue. This comes in cheese, meat, and chocolate with a variety of food choices to dip in the sauces. Fondue is so popular here because of the cold climate! La Alpina is the restaurant suggested in Lonely Planet that we tried. It was out of this world. And for three fondues for two people it was only 139 pesos. The venison and lamb are also eaten here because of the availability of the animals in Patagonia. Though none the less, it was time to go home away from this great city.




As some say, here today, gone tomorrow, but at least I was able to experience the adventure Patagonia has to offer. All I have to say is ANDES 1 and ASHLEY 0!!! Hopefully I can change that score board one day, but at the moment the sore muscles, bruises thighs, and exhausted everything else confirms the final score! I did however look out at the lake Nual Hupai (not quite sure that is the correct spelling). I saw snow capped mountains, and met a whole new breed of people.
