So last night a talkative cabby informed us about this concert thats going on tonight in Parque Kennedy...And along with it some foods by world renowned chef Gaston. How lucky are we!!! Foodies landed in the right spot. So after a late start and food at Restaurante tauro....tasted like moms home cookin. And we ate 2 starters, 2 main courses and ...

I arrived in Lima and got a taxi (no tip given!!) to Milflores which is just outside Lima`s city center and meant to be a lot nicer and safer than Lima itself. I had 1 night to spend here before my GAP trip of Peru started and after an intital cock up with the hotel I had booked the day before (I turned up and they had no rooms). I eventually se...

Well we finally did it...We had a weekend where every member of our family was in good health! No spots, dots,fevers, runs, cramps, coughing or uncontrolled expulsions of meals and let me tell you we do appreciate it! School went well this week. Matti and Hunter are well into their science project...Hunter is trying to figure out which bread gro...

Corinne survived the longest Feb 22nd EVER, really the day just went on...

After an exhausting week of skiing in Steamboat, where I saw more snowfall in four consecutive days than I ever have, I jumped on an airplane in Denver and made my way down to Lima, Peru. Arriving at 1:00 in the morning with a stomach half-full of culinary concoctions that are somehow dubbed airline meals, I easily passed through customs and loo...

We left Huacachina for our last bus journey in South America. It proved to be a smooth ride to Lima despite my numerous aches and pains. We passed through Pisco, which suffered a lot of damage during the recent earthquake. It's incredible what they've acheived here in just five weeks, and although many people are still living in tents much of th...
