weekend escape



















Last weekend was the last long weekend of the year here in Argentina, so Henry and I went to La Pascuala - this little place in one of the Delta islands. It was glorious. If you've ever been to Vietnam, this is kind of similar. Romantic and great for relaxing, nearby the city.

I love Patagonia



















































































































We just got back from Patagonia. The first few days we stayed in a lodge out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the most incredible sceneries ever. We did horseback riding, kayaks, trekking, etc. We went to Bariloche one day, did rafting on the Manso river, all the way to Chile. That part was a thrill. That night, exhausted as we were, we had dinner at Nann - a tiny restaurant with gorgeous views of the city. Once dinner was over, the owners kindly invited Henry and I to a back room where we met their friend Ernesto, owner of Cassis, another great restaurant by the lake. We tasted some of their favorite wines and chatted for a long time. It was so ideal.
Then came Villa la Angostura where we went to a friend's birthday. We had an asado at his newly-finished house set on a hill facing the river and surrounded by a lush forest. After lunch the boys went for a swim in the river! too cold for me that day...thanks but no thanks. Tinto Bistro later that night was fun! as were the days that followed in the magic of Las Balsas. Then, off to Henry's house.
Special thanks to Las Balsas for your hospitality.
