Random alert: Ralph in BsAs

Sometimes Google Alerts alerts me to the randomest things. I signed up to receive news in English with the search term "Buenos Aires" in order to read travel stories about my new home...and get the latest by English-speaking reporters with B.A. bylines. But sometimes off-the-wall press releases come through. Like today. This morning, I read "Fashion's number one, Ralph Lauren and his family visit Argentina and Uruguay" [sic -- though I want to at least add a comma]. The press release describes the journey a company called Curiocity put together for Ralph, Ricky, two sons, a business colleague and Lauren Bush, first niece to George (and somebody's novia?). Here's a prime tidbit:

The trip required more than fifty people on duty around the clock, including on-site personal hosts, guides, chauffeurs, renowned chef, maids, housekeeper and other in-house personnel, personal escorts, and security teams in each destination.

Destinations included their favorite restaurant in BsAs (La Cabrera) and some of their favorite shops (Felix, Cardón, De María -- [ed. aside: where/what is De María? I'm ignorant). The final gem was the web link at the bottom of the press release that leads to the personal blog of Curiocity's co-founder and "U.S. investor." There, I was treated to pics of Ralph enjoying New Year's Eve (see below) and more.
