Bariloche for Xmas

South America » Argentina » Río Negro » San Carlos de Bariloche

Casita Llao Llao

We found a casita on the shores of Laguna Nahuel Huapi for un navidad muy tranquilo! .. It was so beautiful and quiet.. and of all the places I have been to in Argentina, I would say it is a "must visit" location. The casita we stayed in is 24km from Bariloche town on the "circuito chico" and has the most amazing views of the Andes, Laguna Nahuel Huapi and a huge huge sky. The casita is owned by Shanie and Jamie, who are from California and have set up home in Patagonia.. they've renovated it with a really personal touch [View Full Entry]

Spring and summer in Buenos Aires..

South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires

One of the first hot days.. With Silvina by her pool

The heat has arrived in the city again.. so we've been out and about at weekends.. Palermo parks for some shade, the Costanera Norte for some breeze, and San Isidro to escape the city.. And we've had some great dinners with Tom, Maya, Silvie and Henry.. including a Xmas lunch where each person had to pick a country and cook a course from that country.. so we had Spanish, Japanese, English, Indian, American and Greek all in one afternoon!!

Our biannual party!

RECOVERED

Our biannual party! South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires » Recoleta By Katharine July 7th 2007 KatharineWell after the success of our "welcome to BA party" 6 months ago, and with 2 members of the team shortly leaving BA we decided to have another party.. The party was fantastic, till about 5am when the police turned up and asked Ed the DJ to turn down the tunes.. still, despite threatening us with a 1000 peso fine, he was very sweet and I think he wanted to join us.. So it was a quieter affair until we all crashed.. and reconvened the next day [View Full Entry]
