We tried to go to Uruguay today. It's a quick, 1 hour ferry ride, or so we're told. Kai couldn't wait because it meant another 2 stamps in his passport. We heard the beaches were incredible there.
Alas, it turns out people in Argentina celebrate Easter, too. Of course, they take 1-2 additional days off as they do for any cause for celebration here. Apparently, on vacation, everyone in BA goes to Uruguay. Not a single ticket was available on any ferry to Uruguay for the next four days.
Instead, we had another great day in BA. Went to a highly recommended Italian restaurant for lunch, because of it's proximity to the Children's museum. We were told to get whatever the specials were. Not understanding spanish well, we think we're getting fried calamari and mushroom ravioli.
Halfway through, we realize we have tender squid stuffed with "fruit of the sea". It was delicious and rich. It was washed down with a malbec and followed by our yummy looking raviolis.
yyyyyyeeeeaaaahhhh. 2 bites into the ravioli and a quick gag, we realize it's blood sausage ravioli. It is as bad as it sounds. Definition to follow.
Definition: A link sausage made of pig's blood, diced pork fat, and other ingredients such as onions and breadcrumbs. Also called blood pudding.
Reorder!~
morcilla ... loved that stuff. Bring some home Jen. I can't find it around here and it is the one thing that nobody wants to share with me so I can eat until I am very, very happy.
