Six people arrived in the morning and one at night. There was much running around, trying to find why one BnB host was AWOL, changing money, eating, napping, dancing, and then more eating!
Restaurant review: Dorina Cafe (Nicaragua 4816)
Patrick, Sally, and Tom at the Dorina Cafe
This was a favorite cafe of Tanya and Michael’s last trip, and it’s less than a block from some of our group, so I planted exhausted, hungry people at the cafe, took others to change money, then brought them back to the cafe. All of them enjoyed lunch before going to nap.
Yum! Mint lemonade, salad, and a sandwich!
The cafe offers coffee, pastries, avocado toast, sandwiches of various kinds with greens, salads, and mint lemonade. Most of their food was not gluten-free, so I didn’t eat there, but the coffee was great, and the pastries smelled amazing! You will have to ask the others how the food tasted.
Practica and class review: El Motivo (Club Villa Malcolm, Cordoba 5064)
We decided to stay close to home, as everyone was very jetlagged, so we headed over to El Motivo for the group class. As it was loud and two classes were going on simultaneously, it was difficult even for those of us who speak Spanish to hear what was going on. Still, it was fun to see everyone take their first in-Buenos-Aires tango steps. Sorry, no pictures! I forgot…
By the end of class, everyone was too tired to attend the practica, so they had a drink in the bar, and we headed out for our dinner reservation.
We are READY for dinner!
Restaurant review: Calden de Soho (Honduras 4701)
Calden de Soho had my business again, as I had intended to bring the group here before being asked to introduce my friends to “my favorite parrilla” over the weekend. I appreciated the manager’s willingness to squeeze a large group in at the last minute: I stopped by to get reservations on the way to El Motivo, and we bargained back and forth about times, but in the end, I got the reservation.
Everyone who had arrived met for dinner, and in true Argentine fashion, we spent about two hours eating! Steak, fish, ravioli, wine, salads, dessert: it’s all great food here! Don’t miss it.
