World Tango Championships in Buenos Aires!

I made it to the semifinals of the Campeonato Mundial de Baile de Tango… a must-see if you ever are in Buenos Aires during the championship. Never thought Tango could be so beautiful. In the tango capital, Buenos Aires, the best dancers in the world brought it on with moves never scene before.

Full Moon at Iguazu Falls!

It only happens once a month so my friend Michelle, my son Dante and I went up to check out the full moon everyone has been talking about.  We went to see the full moon inside the Argentine Park – Las Cataratas of Iguazu Falls before seeing the park during the day.  It was so mysterious and adventurous.  The experience was unforgettable and I recommend that if you’re in Argentina during the full moon, you have to fly up to Iguazu just to check out the infamous FULL MOON.
