Brindo por las elecciones legislativas 2009

Brindo por la voluntad de la gente de optar por el cambio. Brindo por los que ganaron con esfuerzo y determinación. Vamos PRO - por la Argentina que nos merecemos.

Dont make excuses. Make things happen. Make changes. Then make history. ~Doug Hall

Greetings from Salta & Jujuy!

I just got back from the northern Argentinian provinces of Salta and Jujuy. Aside from the strikingly beautiful sceneries, dramatic change of landscapes within minutes - try driving from Salta to Jujuy via the camino de la cornisa. You'll pass from being in the desert with giant cacti, to being in the middle of the jungle on a one-lane, curvy road where cars come and go from both sides! yes, it's a bit stressing, and a little dangerous, but it's so worth it!! and you can always get a driver who knows the road well. If not, just honk your horn in every curve. But don't forget to, cause there is no room for two cars for most of the way. And those cliffs are intimidating. But, where was I? oh, the sceneries, the food, the colonial architecture, beautiful churches, wine, it's all magical... the gorgeous towns surrounded by the Andes mountains... not to mention the Quebrada de Humahuaca - a World Heritage site where there are still indigenous towns that have been a major trade route for over 10,000 years! once again, it was incredible to be there... to meet people from these towns. I say go North! It's like being in another world. If you would like to visit remote, Andean towns that regular tourists do not have access to, inquire about new ranges of excursions to enjoy more authentic experiences, stay in one of our splendid villas or recommended boutique hotels, or if you would like to help the local host communities, contact one of our dedicated travel experts. There are plenty of rewarding ways to make a difference between winetastings, trekking and horse riding in the mountains, and a soothing spa treatment.

Arteba - Buenos Aires Contemporary Art Fair

Arteba closed on Tuesday, May 26. More than 125,000 people visited the fair this year, and many gallerists said they were extremely surprised and pleased with the remarkable success in sales. On the event's third day, La Nacion wrote "good art sales contradict the crisis".

Again, I loved the Chandon –sponsored “Young Neighborhood” section, where the newer galleries displayed risky and daring works ranging from street art, installations, and multimedia art. Cala - Gogó gallery was one of the coolest.

Miguel D' Arienzo, Milo Locket, Juan Battle Planas, Léon Ferrari, Leandro Erlich, Diego Garcia, Sebastian Masegosa, Inchauspe, and Chile's Sami Benmayor are some artists that really stood out.
Among the Galleries that drew much attention to both Argentinean and international visitors were: Maman's Fine Art Gallery, Ruth Benzacar, Gachi Prieto, Daba Torrejon, Daniel Abate, Chile's Isabel Aninat, and Isabel Anchorena.

Waiters Race - 6th edition

For the sixth consecutive year, the Buenos Aires waiters' race - organised by the Minister of Culture and Tourism, took place this weekend.
With two bottles and a full glass, the avid waiters started in Av. de Mayo, and had to speed walk a total of 1,600 mts. (less than a mile), without spilling anything.
Walter Ayala was the winner of the first prize which consisted of $2,500 ARS. Congratulations!!

With friends at Faena, Flory's W, Crobar, etc.
