After a week of school and paper, getting up early for our flight and biking up mountains, Lizzie and I agreed to take it easy the next day. And by take it easy I mean spend tons of money here:
aka Heaven. Mamuschka is the best chocolate store ever! Bariloche is known for its delicious chocolate, and this is definitely the best of all the stores in Bariloche (trust me, we tried a lot of them!). The industry and allure of Bariloche chocolate is completely fabricated (I talked to the owner who is not Russian as the store’s name would suggest and he told me that when people started to come to Bariloche for holiday the residents thought, “let’s start up a chocolate industry here to attract more tourism!”) yet I still call this place heaven.
But first we went to another vista point (360 degrees of lake) 
via aerosilla (chairlift)- it felt weird to be on one without skis!
(sorry, no makeup close up)----->
The islands and the mist on the lakes reminded me of Pirate’s of the Caribbean! But alas, the 
Black Pearl was no where to be found. But Mary, la Virgencita, was there, of course
But right as we got up to the vista point it began to cloud up and get colder, windier, rainier…
…And then we saw this ominous Poe-Bird and promptly took the aerosilla back down (and that’s when we retired to Mamuschka to assuage our weather-woes with chocolate, of course!) More to come later!! We still had two days left in Bariloche!
