    Bought a bag of Don Satur crackers

    "Bizcochitos de grasa" are also made fresh in most bakeries. Have been the preferred snack to accompany "mate" sessions since forever. Even the snobbiest local foodies love them. Also served with the best imported Scotch....!

    Is inflation killing tourism?

    My Colonia neighbors have stopped coming. Before the dollar devaluation, they were coming in droves to shop, travel, go to the theatre, and dine in style. Some came twice a month.

    Liability Insurance Options for U.S. Car Rental

    State-mandated liability insurance is included in rentals. In VA it was just US$100,000, enough to cover a fender-bender but little else. Last year I rented a car from SIXT, which included US$ one milliion in liability insurance. This company was then a newcomer to the Washington area, and...

    Filters Or Delivery For Drinking/cooking Water?

    Thanks, Roxana. I have a Humma pitcher, but there must have been something wrong with the filter because the water came out tasting strange. Tried it with a Britta filter, which fits in the pitcher, and now it is fine.

    Looking for Kero syrup

    Trying to make a Southern Pecan pie and need Kero, or a substitute. Does anyone know where to find either? Actually, I'd really like to get Vermont Maple syrup, but have found only a watery Canadian one here. Spent $17,000 pesos, and it was a miserable disappointment. So I'll settle for Kero...

    Pet Adoption Shelters - Wanting to adopt a cat

    Check with your neighborhood vet store- they often have whole litters of kittens for adoption. Parke Centenario on weekends is also a good bet, but it is harder to know where those kittens come from, and whether they are healthy.

    Moving to BA from Boston... need contacts!

    I choose to stay in BA during the summer months. I have window screens and ceiling fans, and need to run the AC for about ten days each year. Unlike Washington, DC, the climate it is not humid, and it gets cooler at night. After Dec. 15 the city empties, and traffic gets manageable...
