Davin Days

We have been privileged to have Davin with us for a few days. We were able to spend a day skiing at COP, some time playing in the snow in the back yard, playing a board game which he won, and bowling and swimming at the CWC. We were also able to spoil him with candy, ice cream and slushies as only grandparents can.

Samba Dance

Lucinda, this is especially to show you that Samba dancing was part of the parade. Sorry about all the waving arms and cameras but that was part of the total experience!

Other Highlights

Also want to share photos of the amazing forest of cinnamon-barked arrayan trees on the Quetrihue Peninsula in Lago Nahuel Huapi and of our exciting zip-line experience

South America

We have returned from yet another wonderful trip. In Mendosa we tasted wines paired with the seven courses which comprised a lunch we shared with our new best friends Delores and Andreas. In the Andes we hiked far enough to glimpse Aconcagua, highest peak in the Americas. The lake crossing from Chile to Argentina provided spectacular scenery and a chance to experience a zip line through the rain forest canopy. Bariloche afforded more hiking and breathtaking views of many of the lakes. Rio was so much fun! Exceeding our expectations were the Cristo Redentor, the Copacabana, Ipenema and Barra beaches and the view from Sugarloaf.The highlight was the Sambaparade held in the huge Sambodrome with dozens of unbelievabley intricate floats and thousands of dancers in the most elaborate costumes.
