Day 88 - Nice Cream


Nice Cream

No that is not a misspelling.  I meant to write Nice Cream.  That is the name of the coolest ice cream parlor I have been to in a long time.


This is one of my haunts on the Plaza 24 de Septiembre.  It is new.  When I was here in March, they were building the place.  All I knew was that it was going to be called Nice Cream. 


Since arriving in July, I discovered it is finished.  The correct spelling is N2ice Cream.  The N is for nitrogen.



This evening I went out to Nice Cream with my friends, Sandra and Andrea, and Sandra’s two boys.  They had never been here, so I was able to introduce them to this cool ice cream parlor.


When they take your order, they mix the ice cream in front of you.  Apparently the recipe has to be precise, so they weigh everything as it is put in the mixture.  Then they put it in the blender which is chilled to -192◦ Celsius with liquid nitrogen.  In about 3 minutes, voilà, you have a delicious ice cream.


Tonight I chose pistachio. 


I was going to leave my friends and go to the mall to get a shirt.  The 23rd of September we have a parade that the seniors and teachers are a part of.  We are required to wear white shirts in the parade and I don’t have a plain white shirt.




Well, they didn’t want me to take a taxi to the mall.  They said there are shirt shops around the corner.  I had never noticed the two places they took me.  The first had beautiful shirts, but none in white, in my size.  The second had a gorgeous blue shirt that I almost bought, and a nice white shirt in my size for about $20. 

We walked backed to the Plaza and I said goodbye to them and walked around a bit before heading home. 

A “Nice” evening.
