Just two blocks away from the apartment is a little heladeria. It's not unusual in any way. At the moment there're only the limited 'winter' range of flavours but that's okay because that includes sabayone. Avocaat ice cream. Mmmm. We were coming back from trying out a local pizzeria the other day and as we walked past Liz said she fancied an ice cream. So we splurged (it was the end of the week. Vanilla, sabayone and coconut, in a polystyrene tub to take out. And a litre of beer. This place is open until midnight, they sell super panchos (hot dogs with crisps on the top) hamburgesas and beer. Just what you need at the end of your street.

Since writing the first paragraph, we've been back and sampled the cocon (coconut), Tiramisu and Almendra (almond). We've also been chatting to the lady in the shop. We thought she owned it but she commutes an hour each way from the suburbs... an hour, to work in a little backstreet heladeria... yipe. I asked if I could take her picture and before she could finish saying she wasn't very photogenic I had done so... she was pretty impressed with the little digital camera (una camera linda... which does not suggest that I stole it from a girl called Linda, what kind of person do you think I am?).  ¶ 6:40 PM
