Visas and shoes

I was thrilled to come home and find our visas to Brazil.  During my time in South America Robert and I will make a short trip to Iguassu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil.  We are staying on the Brazilian side. Check out Hotel Das Cataratas on line where we will be staying.

The packing is coming along slowly but surely.  The highs in Chile and Argentina are in the mid 60's  with lows in the 40's at night so trying to figure out the best clothing options.  The best idea from Rob so far- "don't bring a lot of shoes, you know you will buy shoes there."  So friends I think that is the official fair game for shoe extravaganza in SA.

I also received the first round of my schedule for the three weeks in Chile.  Can't wait to share! I have some wonderful meetings planned and two in country trips that look just amazing- including the opportunity to meet with Community Leaders and agencies working with Indigenous communities in the lake region.

Finally I had a really wonderful get together with my friends at one of my very favorite place in Philly- las Cazuelas. Alfredo was a wonderful host to us, the food and company was fabulous, and my favorite is the Beth made it into the filming of a comercial. Perfect.

  1. I'm all for the "shoe shopping in Argentina/Brazil" idea. One of my pilates instructors came home from Argentina with the most GORGEOUS booties EVER!
