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.

ART IN THE ANDES - James Turrell
























































James Turrell Gallery opened this week, in the Hess family vineyard in Colomé, Argentina.

Very much in tune with Hess's passionate approach to art, the light installations are beyond stunning, enhanced by the gallery's truly, magnificent views of the Andes mountains.

Greetings from Chile!!

































Chile is fascinating. Forget the crowded and built- in coastal cities near Santiago. Not that they're not worth a visit... but a little further north, there are truly stunning, beach towns which remain undiscovered for the most part... we found the most beautiful beaches, sea-side restaurants, and incredibly nice people. Below are some photos of Zapallar & Cachagua. I'll be posting more photos from Chile soon! Torres del Paine, Atacama desert and Easter Island.
