As some of you know, we lived in beautiful Patagonia from 2007 until 2010.
Many lasting memories, some amazing friendships and some huge life lessons were had and they will never be forgotten. It’s a place that will be forever special in our hearts.
A guest from one of our rental properties sent us some photos of the flowers going off. We hope you enjoy them as much we do.

Like many things in Argentina, the snow arrived late this winter. However, I am happy to report the Andes are now covered in a nice blanket of white.
Here’s a few photos taken by Wild Patagonia from this week on Cerro Lopez.

Andean Powder Skiing, August 2011
Cerro Catedral, located just outside Bariloche, has announced it will open for the season this Saturday, July 16. On the schedule for skiers are 3 chairs.
The forecast is calling more snow. For updated conditions, click here.
We wish all our friends in the Andes an excellent ski season.

We would like to send much love and positive thought to all of those negatively effected by the volcanic eruption of Volcano Puyehue.
The Lakes District is a majestic paradise that will always have a special place in our hearts, not just the land, but the people as well. We love you Bariloche. We are sorry that you are going through this natural disaster. Know that there are many of us around the world that are here to support you during these challenging times.

I put together a little video to celebrate earth day using my pictures from our life in Patagonia.
Thank you Mother Earth for creating such a spectacular area as the Lakes District of Patagonia. With adoration and gratitude, we feel blessed that this amazing part of the planet is a part of our heart.

A part of our deep love for the Bariloche area is the rich array of adventurous activities that lie in wait to be explored. Snow skiing, trekking, rock climbing, kite surfing, mountain biking, wind surfing, volcano adventures…the list is never-ending.
I recently had an article published in Transitions Abroad to help give details and contact info for ten exciting ways to have outdoor fun in the Lakes District. Enjoy!
In loving support to all those suffering in Japan, we would like to pass on the message that there is a nation and city-wide meditation being held in Argentina and Bariloche on Sunday, March 20th. The Bariloche location is at La Placita (Limay 545, Melipal) starting at 1:30 p.m.
EN ARGENTINA Y EN BARILOCHE:
MEDITACION MASIVA
EL DOMINGO 20 DE MARZO
Por el equinoccio, por la Luna Llena,
por el dolor de Japón,
por la elevación de la Humanidad
y de nuestra Madre Tierra, Gaia.
Por vos, por mí, por todos…
El Domingo 20 de marzo,
desde las 13:30 h, en La Placita, Limay 545, Melipal
vamos a meditar por espacio de una hora.
Podés venir cuando quieras (mejor con tu almohadón!)
Te pedimos que permanezcas, por favor, un mínimo de 30 minutos.
Como siempre, la meditación será en silencio,
cada uno con su forma de hacerlo.
A continuación, desde las 14:30 h,
y por espacio también de 1 hora,
haremos sonar
tambores, cuencos, didjeridoos…
vibrando con los 8.000 tambores del mundo,
que ese día sonarán al unísono!
Sumate en presencia y en participación!
En inmenso amor, nos abrazamos!
“Gracias por su difusión!”
I just found out from our wonderful Bariloche massage therapist, Cristina Skomorowski (telephone (02944 458 3533 or cell 15 206 067 for those in need of a fabulous, cheap rub down), that the Bariloche Association of Artisans (La Asociación de Artesanos de Bariloche) is showcasing the brilliant and mind-provoking art of local Maria Susana Giglio. A Bariloche resident since 1983, she finds inspiration and peace in the creation of art.
The art exposé is from the 10th of February till the 10th of March. Located on Elflein 38, on the first floor, the Association is open Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 8 pm.

It’s no joke when we say that Bariloche is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Combine that with being home to South America’s famed ski resort, Catedral, and having a lively community full of fun things to do, and it is not a huge surprise that Bariloche was named one of the world’s best mountain communities by the BBC in an article published two days ago.
But it is exciting nonetheless!
And as a person that has had the pleasure of living in this wonderful place — a paradise that is often under-the-radar – it’s great seeing it get the kudos that it deserves.

Yesterday, we posted about the drastically reduced price of our property, Patagonia View Investment Property.
Today, Curbed Online Magazine published this article, A Non-Exhaustive Roundup of the Best Views Money Can Buy.
The article contrasts the view and price of our property to 5 separate multi-million dollar properties in the United States.
Thank you to Rob at www.Curbed.com for helping us show what a great deal the property is.
