One Fine Thursday in Iguazu

Just before I begin, this keyboard has a stiff 'a' key so be warned!
This morning I slept in (again) as I couldn't sleep last night (again). I had a brief siesta yeasterday, hard not to when you are sitting on your bed and the room is in darkness and all is quiet, and you can't read or anything, soooo, of course I wasn't really sleepy last night (and I'm talking midnight). MOnica of course was up and away before 7am. I had to go down town today and get some money for our trip this weekend. I was finally at the bank when it was open (8am - 1pm) and lo and behold a queue as far as the eye could see. Actually that's not too far these days.
Anyway I joined the endless queue and eventually after 40 mins got to speak to a teller. While I was waiting, I was glancing round and saw an automatic teller box, didn't think anything of it, when it opened and a policeman steps out, The changing of the guard apparently as another guy got in the box!! They were watching all that was happening with the tellers and customers. Quite creepy really, never know what they are looking at. Well, the teller tells me (that's what they do, tellers lol) that I can't with draw dollars at the bank, only pesos! After all that! Well I went outside to the real automatic teller machine and couldn't withdraw anything! Thought, OH no!! no more spending (actually haven't spent much) Well, Never one to give up, I went off looking for another bank. I remember Monica and I seeing one, one dark night last week. Well, I walked straight to it, yay, and this time was successful in withdrawing pesos. Actually I think I may have put in the wrong pin last time! Clutching pesos close I found a Cambio (money changer) and finally have some dollars. When I got home I realised that instead of getting $50 I only had $30. I was thinking NZ to USA$ and should have been thinking pesos!!!!!!
I collected my laptop and walked to San Lucas to ask the computer guy there if he could help me send some photos. Well, you'll never guess! The network was down at school so I couldn't do that either. I gave up then and went and found Monica and sat in on her class until 12.30.
Which brings us up to now, nearly, it's 3pm here. Monica is asleep, I did some Spanish outside for a while until the mossies and a persistant bee had me abandoning the study and escaping to the cafe.
This afternoon I will go with Monica to the public school and sit in on her lesson there.
Tonight is more study I guess.
Hope all is well in NZ, Oz and Britain, etc
Catch you all soon.
