We are finishing our Round the World today. Last stop, Rio de Janeiro. Right where we started, five months ago. As I write this last post before we head back to London, I am reminded of these buddhist words of wisdom, which I quoted when we were in Burma early...
As in Up (a favorite DVD night during our round the world), we followed Mr Fredricksen's dream of seeing the largest waterfalls in South America and headed to Iguazu falls. Impressive..really. Nature is stronger than Man (i hope) As the falls lie exactly at the border...
On the way to visit the world-famous Iguazu falls, we landed on the Argentine side, and drove over to the Brazilian side, crossing over the majestic Iguazu river which continues to Paraguay just 20km away. It was interesting to find ourselves at a cross-border on the...
I was debating for a little while whether to keep these words below for myself, but in the end, I find them so touching and expressive of what a 5-year old might think of after-life that I decided to share them with you. We visited the famous and worthwhile seeing...
We came back to Buenos Aires after Mendoza, and all together have spent more than a week in the city. While I would not call BA a very family-friendly city, because it's noisy and polluted, huge with lots of traffic, there are pleasant activities and itineraries to...
I learnt in Mendoza that some winemakers are called garagista, when they make wines out of a passion with rather basic equipment. Carmelo Patti, whom we met and visited, is Mendoza's most famous garagista. And then there are the real garage, like this one below, that...
We toured the wine region of Mendoza for 3 days, leaving the kids behind in Buenos Aires under the loving care of nonna. ¡Salud! Mendoza is the 4th largest city in Argentina, and its wines are exported all over the world, especially the Malbec, which I am a big fan...
We're back in Argentina, the land of Maradona and Evita Peron... Believe it or not, Buenos Aires is a major city for graffiti culture. There's even a company called GraffitiMundo organizing tours and promoting street art. We all loved this one, found in the...
I am experimenting posting from my iPad...sorry if it doesnt come out all nice and clean. I lost ONCE AGAIN something somewhere!! This time, it's the plug of my computer, which is now out of battery. This is the most frustrating part of our round the world, we can't...
I like Buenos Aires, but I did not remember how busy, dusty and noisy it is. It must be that 10 years ago when I first visited, I did not have children. I liked going out til late in the night, and you don't see things the same way at 20 than at 30 (ok, 28 and 38)....
We've been in Buenos Aires for a few days now, living like porteños. Everywhere, I am reminded of this poem Las Calles / The Streets from one of Argentina's most famous poet, Jorge Luis Borges. He used to live around the corner from where we are renting an apartment,...
It was fun for the children, the idea of crossing a border by road after so many airport immigration points during our round the world. However, it was a bit abstract for all us to understand where Chile ends and where Argentina starts! This is what the Argentine...
Yes I traveled to Syria last week. Not the broken and abused Syria that we all know from the news but the Syria full of colours, smiles and flavours that once stood proud. That’s right, that's where we all went on Thursday night with a bunch of super girlfriends and...
this is me in the 70's at my beloved grandmother's house. i am a pure and proud product of immigration. My Christian grandmother escaped poverty in Italy between the two wars and crossed the Alps with mother and brothers in search of a better life in the mining towns...
Everyone's talking about Cuba these days, and I am thrown 20 years back to when I first visited this special island, and left it with mixed feelings about its future. I was 20 years old back then. During a summer internship in Caracas (that's a whole other blog...
We're back from a trip in Bhutan, which I really want to document properly on BozAround. It will be mainly through photos as I took sooo many, and they will tell much more about this beautiful country than my own words. Bhutan is roughly the size of Switzerland,...
