La Panera Rosa, deli market, is similar to Panera in the US. "Bebidas con alcohol," translates to "drinks with alcohol." Tom had a beer while I had a glass of red wine. |
The deli was packed with patrons and the only available table for us was in a highly trafficked area by the front door. Yesterday's temps were well into the 90's and it was hot where we were seated. |
With no other alternative, I've asked our daughter-in-law Camille if I can send her a Bill-Pay check which she'll cash, placing the money into the online card we'll send Maisie. The challenges of traveling the world can easily present these types of issues. However, there's always a workaround.
Instead of butter, he was served this margarine which he didn't use. We've yet to see real butter since we arrived in Buenos Aires, except at La Cabrera, a high-end restaurant. |
Tom ordered a barbecue pork sandwich which came with three onion rings. |
Sadly, a few days ago, Uncle Bernie, 98 years old, passed away and our hearts are broken we won't get to see him one more time. In September 2014, we purposely selected a cruise from Harwich, England which ended in Boston, so we could see Uncle Bernie and my dear cousin Phyllis.
Of course, when we left after a three-day visit, we were realistic in understanding we may never see him again. Our dream of one more visit with him was dashed when he passed away on January 2nd. My father passed away in a tragic work accident in 1960 (see the story here) and Uncle Bernie was his last remaining brother.
We've decided to keep the cruise booking with Boston as a port of call, hoping we'll see cousin Phyllis for a few hours when we're in port that day. That cruise ends in Fort Lauderdale on November 8, 2019, at which point we'll fly to Nevada for a few week stay to visit son Richard and renew our driver's licenses, visit my sister Julie in California and also visit Tom's sisters and their husbands in Arizona.

Tomorrow, weather providing, (it's raining today) we plan to head out sightseeing after we upload the day's post. After so much sightseeing on the recent 30-night cruise, we've been content to stay in the hotel lobby during the days and head out on foot each night to peruse the lovely Palermo area and find a new spot for dinner.
A refrigerated case was filled with yummy looking desserts. |
Today's photos include a restaurant we've visited last night with a few disappointing results which may have been an entirely different experience during a less busy time and in ordering different menu items.

Actually, Tasmanian Devils aren't as ugly we'd expected, except when showing their teeth when threatened. The photos we took of the rescued animals, the intent of Wing's Wildlife Park, left them little reason to feel threatened in the spacious habitat in which they comfortably live among other animals.
