Dulce de Leche

It’s everywhere! And nothing could be better. While we have both had this tasty creamy, caramel-like deliciousness before, we found the Argentines perfected it. So far we have tried it the in the forms of pastries, coffee, ice cream and in giant sundaes. Check out the photo of Kevin indulging in the coffee drink he ordered without quite understanding the layers upon layers of cream, ice cream and coffee he would spoon through before getting to the dulce de leche at the bottom. Yummy!

Colonia de Sacramento, Uruguay

After Day 10 of being in this crazy city, we decided to escape to a small town just an hour ferry ride across the Rio de Plata. This river sure is something—you might have to look at a map to understand--it took us an entire hour to cross on the fast ferry and the regular ferry (for about ½ the price) takes 3 hours. We were sure we would find this river would turn out to be the Atlantic Ocean, but sure enough, per it’s name, it is brown, muddy and fresh water. Colonia is a picturesque sleepy town that was established by Portugese explorers in the 1600’s. There is a 6x6 block town square of cobblestone streets lined with sycamore trees and rows of pastel colonial homes. Here are some pics of the town.

Pizza, Pizza, Pizza

Although Americans have known it for years, BA has also discovered the best pizza in the world comes from none other than….KENTUCKY??? Check out the pic we took on one of the main stretches of town. We weren’t willing to run across 10 lanes of traffic to get a shot of the front, but there is an enormous flashing florescent sign advertising their world famous pizza that is even more absurd.
