DOC - champamnharia and risoteria



We went to this charming and romantic restaurant last night for dinner with Lu and Geert, lighted by candles this place is a bit hidden on a side street in the Bela Vista neighborhood (very nice) called DOC. The decorations were rustic and on the walls hanging old windows and doors. It was very small and intimate with only 8 tables available inside. On another wall hangs a blackboard with today's special risotto and champaign. The risottos we tried were delicious. And of course it's recommended to drink champagne, which we did. Yummy! I was in heaven. We had strawberries in sugar and pepper for dessert! While it sounds odd, it was quite good.

Earlier that day we went to a big market with all kinds of interesting smells from the fish to the hanging meats. We had yummy ice cream at this one shop called Banca 40. I had a combo of grape, coconut and banana ice cream and Ben tried coffee, chocolate and cream combo. It was really nice.






We are going to try to take a bus tour of the city today if the rain stays away. So far it looks pretty nice.

Tchau for now!
