    Carrefour, Coto And Disco

    Don't all workers get a day on May 1st? Why do we need a second day? Of course the answer is we don't...unless of course it is an election year!

    Which Rice For Risotto And Rice Pudding?

    No, for risotto you really do want arborio. You can get a decent brand in almost any large supermarket or in Barrio Chino.

    Bolivia Tourist Visa From Ba

    In mid-July we flew to Bolivia (final: La Paz / customs: Santa Cruz). We bought our visa right there in Santa Cruz. There is a little window they'll send you to when you are doing passport control. It is $150 USD, and the documents we had on us were sufficient. This is totally reciprocal...

    Where To Buy Grass-Fed Beef?

    Jardin Organico sells "CoEco" eggs which are quite nice. They also sell their free range chicken. It is a bit tough, but that just lets you know it is actually free range! You can find the CoEco guys themselves at some of the organic markets in the area too, but Jardin delivers. Those are...

    Where To Get Plain Greek Style Yogurt Or Organic Plain?

    The brand is Dahi, and it comes in little glass pots. I believe Coto and Carrefour don't carry the brand, but Disco and Jumbo do as well as smaller chino stores. Careful to read the label though. The Dahi natural comes in sweetened and unsweetened though they both have the same light blue...

    Vicuña Wool: Producers Or Exporters?

    Donuts In Ba!

    They aren't :( And as recall they aren't open on weekend mornings. My son liked them, but he's 10... Maybe if you do a special order to get fresh ones and perhaps you even warm them?? I was excited to see the store too, but it was more of a let down than I expected as they so look the part...

    English Books In Ba

    Kel is a nice bookstore, and I've been able to find a lot there. Same goes for Walrus. However, if you are a big reader your best bet is to go ahead and get a Kindle or similar. Nothing is as nice as holding a real book, but an electronic device is going to ensure your best access to material...

    Martial Arts Classes?

    The last thread on this is a bit out of date, so I thought I'd try asking again... My son would like to take some martial arts classes. Has anyone had a good experience? It would have to be after school hours, and we are in Recoleta but willing to travel a bit. Thanks!
