Gil and I went on our honeymoon this November, seven months after the wedding. We spent most of the time in Buenos Aires and four days in Uruguay. The highlight of the trip was most certainly Garzon. The name belongs to the town in Uruguay as well as the hotel and restaurant owned and run by Francis Mallmann. Some have called him the best chef in South America and I have no reason to disagree. We spent two wonderful days eating the most delicious food, relaxing and exploring the town. Luciano & Lucia took care of all our needs and made us feel special and welcomed. It was the part of the trip where I felt inspired to shoot more than travel snapshots.
