Published recently by the Minister of Transportation of Argentina.  Below is the link to Mario Meoni’s announcement.  Also below is the gist of the communication in English.

Highlights:  Starting at midnight on March 19th, all domestic planes, long distance trains and buses are suspended completely until midnight March 25.  This is to prevent people who are not taking the health crisis seriously from travelling during the long weekend (March 23 and 24 are holidays in Argentina). They will also be checking roads. The government wants people to understand that they have to stay indoors and are not on vacation. Normal buses and trains will take only seated people, no passengers will be allowed to stand.

announces the release of a new novel

To Hold a Rainbow

book number three in the World Designs Ltd. Series

At the Three Frontiers area, where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay come together in the dense rain forest, smuggling is rife. Drug lord Ramón Subizar is planning a major drug push on Christmas Eve at the borders. But the Gendarmería Nacional of Argentina intend to crash Subizar’s party. Add to the brew a volatile horse called Don Diego, a Buell motorcycle, a gypsy aeroplane pilot, and the drug lord with his new product of opium, and there is guaranteed to be an explosion.

From Dog Ear Publishing, To Hold a Rainbow follows The Kámen and The Long Way Home in the World Design Ltd. series.

Quote from an Amazon reviewer of The Long Way Home: “…one could tell while reading it that the author was familiar with the characters and locations from personal travel.”

Quote from an Amazon reviewer of The Kámen: “Could hardly wait for the next books to come out to see what was going to happen and where in the world the characters would go next.”

All three books are available from Amazon and from Barnes & Noble, in perfect bound or in eBook formats.  Direct links:

Indulge in Lucho’s Homemade Treats!

Posted on by

Lucho’s Homemade Treats was born from Luciano’s passion for cooking and his love for tasty treats.

Having lived in Spain, Canada and the US, Lucho acquired the taste for sweets and goodies that were nowhere to be found in Argentina. Thus, he began to concoct those delicious things he was so fond of and longed for so much right in his very own kitchen. Soon enough, friends became interested in getting a “piece of the pie,” so to speak.

Lucho’s first customers were the expats of Buenos Aires, craving all the good things they were nostalgic for.  Many Argentinians also embraced the new tastes, making Lucho’s Homemade Treats a “must have” item for parties, events, and social gatherings.

Lucho is always on the lookout for new ideas, ever searching for what can hit it off for expats and Argentinians alike. Lucho’s Homemade Treats are always made fresh to order and with choice ingredients.

Nothing is better than homemade—Indulge!

Lucho has generously donated a basket of goodies to the BAIN End of Year Party raffle!  For your chance to win this basket of treats, contact one of our Board Members or come to any BAIN event to purchase your End of Year Party Tickets!

 

Lucho’s Homemade Treats nació de la pasión de Luciano por la cocina y su amor por las cosas ricas.

Al haber vivido afuera, adoptó el gusto por varias delicias que no pudo encontrar en Argentina. Es así que decidió hacer él mismo todas esas cosas ricas que le gustaron y deseaba tanto volver a probar.

Al principio se focalizó en los extranjeros que viven en Buenos Aires, pensando que les encantaría la idea de poder conseguir todas las cosas ricas que extrañaban. No sólo tuvo razón, sino que descubrió que los argentinos adoptaron muy bien estos nuevos sabores, tanto que hoy en día son los mejores clientes de Lucho’s.

Probando recetas todo el tiempo, Lucho está siempre buscando nuevas ideas  e identificando cuáles pueden funcionar en Argentina.

Los productos de Luchos’s Homemade Treats son caseros, siempre frescos y están hechos con ingredientes de calidad. Nada mejor que lo hecho en casa.

Dale, date el gusto!

Looking for a Healthy Lifestyle? Call the Buenos Aires Life Centre!

Meet Jennifer Klueppel, owner of Buenos Aires Life Centre.  Jennifer wants to help you find centeredness.

Jennifer has lived in various cities throughout western Canada. This is her first time living outside of Canada and now she has been living in Buenos Aires for the last 3 years. She has traveled throughout South America, Europe, and North America.

Jennifer started the Buenos Aires Life Centre with Dina Samelis of Happy Sun Yoga. We wanted to create a community space of well being. We offer massage therapy, thai massage, reiki, yoga, pilates, and wholistic health counseling. She found it quite tricky to find work when she first arrived in Buenos Aires. Though she had always thought about starting my own business, moving to Buenos Aires made it seem like the perfect time to get started. After meeting with Dina they decided to join forces and combine a massage business with a yoga business.

We believe that everyone can get a healthy body, mind, soul and heart through balanced life choices. Follow a program of exercises and good nutrition that not only feeds your body but will manifest in a deeper level of well-being and allow you to grow more fully into your True Self.

We are happy to announce that the Buenos Aires Life Centre is now operating in Barrio Norte, French 2647, 5e.
