IS ARGENTINA FORGETTING EVITA?

INTERNATIONAL GOURMET DINING — SOMETIMES DISAPPOINTING

A good way to learn about a country is through its cuisine. It is a journey for the taste buds to try fresh produce that might not be available to us at home.

DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO SANTIAGO?

There is the shorter non-stop air route from Toronto to Santiago at a mere 11 hours and then there is the two day odyssey from Chicago that goes to Houston and then Buenos Aires, before finally reaching Santiago. This takes over 24 hours but, surprisingly, is not too bad if you sleep on the long […]
