May 25
Anniversary of the First Independent Government in Buenos Aires
Revolución de Mayo
On May 1810 a small revolution took place in Buenos Aires. This was the first step towards independence.
Friday is a public holiday here and the students of San Lucas have been practicing this week for a small fiesta held in the town square. They are putting on various skits and singing the national anthem etc. I have learnt a very old anonymous version of an african/tango type of song.
The director of the school asked me today if I would attend the ceremony on Friday morning with the two AFS students that are also at the school. What could I say? No thanks, I'm planning on a sleep in!
Today has been drier than the last few days but it's clouding over again now. Actually had to use the Lavandoria to get some clothes dry. You don't get to use the machines yourself, you just pass over the clothes to be washed/dried/ironed or whatever and pick them up later, after handing over the necessary pesos of course. I think it's a great system!! Or you could have a great husband who will do the washing and ironing for you. Not sure which way I prefer, actually I do know, the husband is good for so many other jobs too!!!!
On that note, I shall end today's blog, as nothing exciting has happened.
Have a great day, whatever day it is in NZ now.
Hasta la vista
