At the southernmost edge of South America, where the Atlantic and Pacific collide in a restless, wind-torn meeting, lies Cape Horn—a place that feels less like a destination and more like a final statement. It’s not grand in size, but in reputation, it carries the weight of centuries.
Port Stanley sits on the eastern edge of East Falkland, overlooking a sheltered natural harbor called Port William. It’s about 300–380 miles off the coast of South America—close enough to Argentina to argue about, far enough to feel like another planet.
Montevideo is the capital and largest city of Uruguay, located on the northern shore of the RÃo de la Plata. It was founded by Bruno Mauricio de Zabala in 1724. It functions as Uruguay’s main port, cultural hub, and economic center, combining colonial heritage with modern coastal living.
From the color and rhythm of La Boca, we move on to the most affluent areas in Buenos Aires called Recoleta. And within this affluent area lies the very impressive Recoleta Cemetery.

They say, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do,” and in our case, that meant embracing one of Argentina’s most beloved traditions—an asado. In Buenos Aires, this isn’t just a meal, it’s a ritual built around fire, patience, and good company. So when the opportunity came to experience an asado, we didn’t hesitate—ready to trade our usual pace for something a little slower, a little smokier, and a lot more flavorful.
Tucked into a quiet corner of Palermo Soho, this unassuming entrance lead us to an experience worth slowing down for.
If you have followed my blog entries so far, you know that our next stop in La Boca, was La Ribera Caminito, a well-known parrilla (Argentine grill restaurant) located on Avenida Don Pedro de Mendoza, right beside the famous tourist street Caminito.
La Boca, one of the most recognizable corners of Buenos Aires, has long been a place where the city’s immigrant past and vibrant street life meet. What was once a rough-and-tumble port district has become one of the most visually distinctive neighborhoods in Argentina.
Buenos Aires, with 3.5 million people in the city proper and over 15 million in the Greater Buenos Aires metro area, was our first stop on a multi-week journey through Argentina and Patagonia. It held special meaning as my birthplace, and walking its streets felt like discovering a home I had never known, yet always wanted to connect with. From bustling avenues to quiet corners, the city offered endless moments worth capturing through the lens.

This is probably one of the easiest cake recipes you will have encountered.
I saw the recipe a while back and was intrigued by the fact that it was made in a blender, and the main ingredient was a whole.... I mean a whole orange.
Skin and all!
Hence, I saved the recipe for a future try out.
