Sweet Confections: Bariloche chocolate

With all the people writing about chocolate in the May ’06 issue, I can’t believe no one mentioned Bariloche, a total chocolate town, which I encountered on the lake crossing between Argentina and Chile. One only has to inhale to gain weight, and there are samples to be had in almost every shop.

I visited there with smarTours (New York, NY; 800/337-7773 or www.smartours.net) on their “South American Odyssey,” Nov. 7-22, ’04.
