Chimichurri Recipe right from San Antonio de Areco | San Antonio de Areco, Argentina | If you love food as much as I do, you must try Chimichurri. The most traditional and renown Argentinean sauce, that goes very well with any type of meats, bread, salads…. you name it. Here is the traditional recipe I got today right from the kitchen of Estancia El Ombu, in San Antonio de Areco, cradle of Argentinean traditions, and from the hands of a local Paisana (aka. female Gaucho).

Acrobatic Training at La Arena in Buenos Aires

Acrobatic Training at La Arena in Buenos Aires | Buenos Aires, Argentina | After over 6 years of being away, and at my 38 years old, today I went back to my Acrobatic/Gymnast training while visiting in Buenos Aires. I grew up training almost everyday to what at that time was one of my biggest passions. Now with my life of traveling around the world it a bit difficult to continue, but every time I have the chance I go back to it… and believe it or not, the body has a memory. Another activity you can do while in Buenos Aires, at La Arena Circo in the neighborhood of Palermo. Approx. USD 15 x 2 hours class. Check them OUT and try if you dare. Now back to training, tonight I will be in pain, but no pain, no game. CM
