Before I continue informing you on the Maestro's upcoming film retrospective, I want to tell you about two events that are taking me beyond San Francisco's Mission District: one is a tango class in Half Moon Bay and the other is a traditional Chilean
asado al palo
in Tomales Bay. Yes, I must admit that my social life orbits around invitations to sell empanadas.
Getting out to Half Moon Bay has been glorious because the area takes me back to my childhood in Chile. Everything about it, from the Pacific Ocean to the surrounding conifers, looks, smells and feels like the coastal fishing town of Quintero, where I spent part of my childhood in Chile. I invite you to connect with ENSO Yoga Studio and Café where tango classes are now offered. After the yoga class mingle and socialize with wine and
Chile Lindo empanadas
. The founder and host of this "Pacific alcove" called ENSO Yoga is Mauro Ffortissimo, founder of
Flower Piano
, one of the events to look forward to every summer at the San Francisco Botanical Garden.
The tango classes are offered by Marcelo Solis, founder of the Escuela de Tango de Buenos Aires.

I cannot announce this upcoming
asado al palo--
lamb stretched on an iron cross--without introducing the courageous Chilean chef, Ariel Cabrera Arriagada and his triumphant adventure
Patagonia Para El Mundo
. His
Gran Gira Gastronómica
took his expertise at preparing Patagonian BBQ to 17 countries through out America and Europe, starting from his home base in Baja California, Mexico. As he headed towards each destination he contacted Chilean communities and embassies so that they could set everything in place for his arrival. Local Chilean musician Marci Valdivieso,
Duamuxa
, rounded up the usual suspects to prepare a welcome to Chef Ariel Cabrera to the Bay Area, the kick-off location for
Patagonia Para El Mundo
. Ariel visited 21 cities in 17 countries in 8 weeks. You can check out his adventures on his
Facebook page
.
Now Marci, her husband Ricardo, and the
Centro Chileno Lautaro
want to invite you to experience an
asado al palo
with a day of Chilean folk music and traditional food in Tomales Bay. A special thank you to Carolina for welcoming us to her beautiful cabin once again.

How to Spend A Day in San Francisco’s Mission District
"Any good neighborhood tour starts with a snack…and continues with snacks throughout the day. First stop:
Chile Lindo

“Twenty five years ago, I knew Chile was right around the corner in every sense: tourism, wine, the fruit exports,” said Tejeda. “I knew Chilean artists were beginning to come to the Bay Area and there was an opportunity for someone to make connections.”
