A nice afternoon rest in the hotel, out to dinner, a good night’s sleep, and up in the morning to finish off this tour, heading west and north this time. The first stop is a couple of blocks from the hotel, nice and convenient. Enroute is the large, one block square Plaza de la Intendencia, which… Read More Walking Historical Córdoba III
Picking up from where I left off yesterday…. The first thing I did was completely missed one church/college, the College of the Immaculada, and its associated Church of St. Francis of Assisi.

The Roving Ravenous Horde continues to venture forth, marauding across the city in search of good food! Then again, we don’t always find it…. I should just stop with this photo, give you the name of the place, and suggest… “No.” Los Orientales, Av. Rivadavia 3981, Almagro…. Regular readers will remember my on and off obsession… Read More Horde Down, Horde Up
A full night, with ten folk at the table. And the first time in a long time we’ve had an “all American” night, though that’s just by chance. Folk from Chicago, Savannah, and New York. Sole Tiradito – Thin slices of fresh sole served over a pool of yogurt and grana padano cheese. Drizzled with… Read More 2022 Menu #2
