| Dear UCSB Alumni and Friends |
| As spring approaches along our California coastal cities so does May-Gray, June-Gloom, and July-No-Blue-Sky. It’s time to consider packing up for a Gaucho Getaways. Below, view my “picks of the month.” |
| Keep checking back to our website as we start to post 2014 Gaucho Getaways . Ever been to Ouagadougou? Bobo Dioulasso? Burkina Faso? Bhutan? Iceland? Enjoyed the Mississippi on a steamboat? Cruised the Panama Canal on a 90-passenger ship? Taken French lessons and lived like a local in France? Explored Alaska wildlife and waterways on a 66-passenger ship? Southwest National Parks will offer a parallel experience to our National Parks adventure. These and many other opportunities will be available in 2014. I won’t spill all the secrets now! Keep checking back to Gaucho Getaways for 2014 developments!. |
