Today was grey and rainy here in Buenos Aires , so I uploaded some pictures from my last trip here in November,2006. Featured: A cattle fair at La Rural – the big expo center on Santa Fe.

Steers patiently await the auction.

The Unique Hotel in São Paulo is a great place to unwind at the end of a long Brazilian business day.

Time out from a busy day for an excellent parillada at Fogo do Chão – said by many Paulistas to serve the best beef in town.

On this beautiful spring day ( close to 80 degrees) I had some time to walk around Mexico City before a late afternoon meeting with The Mexico Tourism Promotion Office.

Then I had an excellent lunch at Casa Merlos. True Poblano delicacies. I had read about it in the New York Times a few weeks ago. A meal worth photographing!

Marketplaces are always a fascinating place to learn about local populations. Here in Vladivostok,Primorye the meat is fresh from the farm. ArcticTropic will have many locations throughout the Russian Far East – a vast land of adventure.
