Zurich visit



With Swiss timing and German precision this city runs like its clocks. Everything is organized, clean and easy to get around. It is a VERY expensive city. Housing prices make London and New York look affordable. Incredible shopping here, more chocolate shops and watch shops than you can indulge in

Inauguration of Chateau Pabus



I dont think words can describe how spectacular this party was, the food was prepared by a chef from Paris the wines were Rothschild 1982, Chateau d'Yquem 1996, Dow's port 1977 to name a few :) They had a theatre reenactment with Thomas Jefferson and Victor Louis (who designed the house). Followed by an incredible light show and ended with salsa dancing! Oh yes lets not forget the design of the chai itself.
