Mind the Games!

This will to be a super-rapido entry, I wa supposed to be back for my tea 20 minutes ago and Cuca is not keen on lateness as I have discovered! I have also discovered that I have at least one Argentine reader (hello to th eman who calls himself "Loco"!) as he left me a comment. I'm dedicating this (very small) entry to everyone that is reading my blg - I've had quite a few messages from people telling me how much they enjoy reading what I'm up to and it's so nice to know you're out there - everything at home seems so very far away. So thanks and keep reading and commenting and emailing and texting... I really appreciate it! Sorry if I don't reply individually, the computer here is quite slow and texting on the phone I have here takes ages as I am not used to non-predictive text yet!

So, I actually managed to get some sleep last night... what a relief. The boys were off out on the pull again (not sure how they got on - more on this later when I have had a chance to rendez-vous with them) but met us for an ice cream in the random ice cream shop across the road from Cuca's. It's open until 1am - how random! I felt much better for it this morning, but still managed to fit in a power-siesta later in the day.

Morning shift at Arcoaires was brilliant as usual, and refugio wasn't too bad either have been teaching the kids daft games and rhymes (Thumb War was a big hit today) and they have been going crazy for "Round and Round the Garden Like a Teddy Bear", the Hokey Cokey, "This Little Piggy Went to Market", "2 Little Birdies Sitting on a Wall"(!) and the song about speckled frogs on a speckled log. I have translated "This little piggy" for them and it goes like this: Este cerdito se fue al mercado. Este cerdito se quedó en casa. Este cerdito come rossbif (yes, I know!). Este cerdito no come nada... y este cerdito dice "hui hui hui hui hui (etc)" a la casa. Classic! They bloody love it. So easy to please!

Right, I better dash off. I don't konw if I'll get another chance to write until Monday, we are off to Iguazu for the weekend and not back until Monday afternoon - day off work! We are spending 2 days at the Iguazu Falls - they are right on the border between Argentina and Brazil, so we are spending one day on each side, and then the last day at the safari park nearby. I think this may be the highlight of my trip (well, apart from eating pickled cow's tongue last Saturday...). I'll let you know how I get on!

Hasta luego....
