Mom's Birthday.
Merry Christmas.
Although I think this is as far away from Christmas as you can get. For the first time in my whole life I've woken up and forgotten it was Christmas day. I think for them it's just another hot day in a long line of them with a party at the end of it.
Yesterday when we arrived everyone was kissy kissy, but all very lovely. The family we're staying with have give girls, all of whom look very a like and yet different also. Imagine the Waltons and you've got it. We're staying at their house - Tomasa, but we went to visit my step-dad's uncle (their grandfather) who lives down the track at Miramonte.
Here life seems to revolve around drinking tea and sleeping. In true latino fashion I even had a siesta yesterday afternoon. Everything is easy and laid back so far. Living here seems to be around your body clock, not the one you wear on your wrist.
Anyway, I'm in Argentina, it's boiling hot and it's Chirstmas day! I'm off outside now.
