Just couldn´t get to sleep last night (sounds like a song) so stayed in bed this morning besides it was hosing down and I would have been absolutely drenched. The rain didn´t let up all day so I have been house bound (I used the word ´house´ lol)
I did some study, washed my hair, made lunch for Monica when she arrived home at 2.15. She had a siesta as per usual in the afternoons so I put a DVD on the laptop, hooked up the earphones (thankyou John) and watched half a movie before the battery ran out, so then I lifted the curtain, stuck my head next to the window and tried to learn some more vocab. I swear that I have an extra hole in my head as info just keeps falling out. Maybe its like that ad on TV where the files are full!!
Monica is marking work now so I´m here at the internet cafe.
Yesterday we went to Tres Fronteras 3 Frontiers. It was incredible to stand in Argentina and look over to Brazil and Paraguay and just absorb that fact. Amazing.
It was a very hot day again (unlike today where I am wearing a jumper for the first time) and we took a bus to the frontier. We walked back home (about 3 kms)in the sun! Wow was I thirsty, as we didn´t take any water. We stopped in at a milkbar type shop on the way home for a cold drink. The bus took us through several different neighbourhoods. What a difference in such a small area. From large quite flash looking houses to dirt and shacks and dogs lying around. Mind you the dogs are everywhere. There were a number of native indian children begging and selling plants that they had just pulled out from the gardens around the frontier.
Tomorrow I am going to try and post a couple of photos so that you can see that I am alive and well and healthy still.
Hope you are all enjoying life, remember to appreciate those around you and the good things we all enjoy in NZ
Hasta luego
Viv
