Oh Bariloche….
The kids had a few days off
for Semana Santa and Pascuas – Easter, so we took advantage of the time and
drove to Bariloche. It is twelve hours
away, but it hosts “La Barra De CHOCOLATE Mas Grande Y Rico Del Mundo!!!” How could we pass up a 200 meter long
chocolate bar? We couldn’t, so we
went.

| Schooled! |
There was a mountain of chocolate for sale, but the most amazing thing was the attacks on the free chocolate. People went wild! When shops put out a small sample dish, the chocolates disappeared within a minute. It felt like Cosco samples on a Saturday afternoon. We spent over an hour watching them prepare and make the 200 meter long chocolate bar - which was devoured in about 15 minutes. They couldn't cut it fast enough. Crazy! We got a small piece and got out of there.

What kind of terrible mother am I?!?! Just one missing part of my skull!

| The boarder... just before we got denied! |
Bariloche also happens to be
close to the Chilean boarder, so we planned to cruise over the fronteria and
renew our visas for another 90 days to legally stay in the country until our departure in June. So sad, too bad. That didn’t happen. The Argentinian immigration officers love us
so much, they wouldn’t let us leave.
Seriously. They took our
passports, and told us no. There is a
longer story than that, but it is a pain in the butt and deals with who
technically owns our car and blah, blah, blah, we were denied, but we did get our passports back.
A delicious highlight of the trip - Easter dinner! Burgers and beers! Fantastic. A new tradition?!?
