A couple of days in Buenos Aires
Well what an alive and sexy city we find ourselves in! I’m not surprised it’s been nicknamed the small Paris of South America! It’s sort of a mixture of busy Parisian style avenues and streets combined with a passionate Latin American grit! Continue reading
Paraty
Okay don’t hate me, but I’m writing this journal entry from the relaxing hammock hanging in the front porch of our new home!

And then Lake Tahoe suddenly came into view! Continue reading

Alcatraz!
I thought this deserved its own post!
We booked our trip to Alcatraz a few weeks ago as we had heard it’s so popular and gets booked up. So we were so pleased that the day we booked turned out to be a stunning day with clear blue skies and warm sunshine. Continue reading
