actually managed to get out and see the city. I had great company (all equally
if not more trigger happy than myself!) gorgeous views, sublime weather and
yummy food. Rio, from what little I saw I can see why they love you.
PS. I spent the day with Kaveri Khullar and the rest of the Diageo India crew.
And yes, before you ask, she used to be a model! xoxo

mind blowing. Casa Das Canoas is a magnificent (and utterly tastefully done)
mansion in the Tijuca forest. Plus they invited one of the most renown Bossa
