Went to see Juliette Lewis and her band- The Licks - a few days ago. So she's not just a great actress but also a talented singer/ songwriter. They played at Palacio Barolo, here in Buenos Aires.

K x 2
Let me introduce you to our new president. We go from having 5 presidents in one week, to having a couple govern for 8 years, or 12 years or whatever. Anything can happen. It's politics.
I found this old photo of C. Kirchner, which I kinda like cause she looks like a character from a Hitchcock movie.

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.

Iguazú Falls, Argentina
We recently came back from another short trip to the jungle and waterfalls. Our trip was spectacular! I already want to go back. My favorite activities were the zodiacs, the Bird Park in the Brazilian side, and our amazing hotel views! This last photo is right before we got soaked- these people have no mercy.

KONGA
Last night I went to see Jean Francois Casanova's Konga at the Maipo theatre, and it was fantastic. The place is not the traditional theatre. It is one of those spaces, which has little tables and an interactive- type stage, which made the experience so much nicer. We had some wine and enjoyed the surrealist -meets- kitsch show, which overflows with glamour, bizzare characters and humor.

Ralph Lauren in Argentina & Punta del Este
I recently spent some time with Ralph Lauren and his family here in Argentina and in Uruguay. It was wonderful to meet them and I feel so much gratitude for the little time we spent together talking and walking through the neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and around Punta. It was an unforgettable learning experience. Learn from the best.

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 delicious restaurant by the lake. We tasted some of their favorite wines and chatted for a long time.
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, 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 close to "the end of the world" for a week.
Special thanks to Las Balsas for your hospitality.
