October News

So, life goes on as normal...work and play. My little kiddies are continuing to make me smile every day, they find everything hilarious, especially me so that is great! I have started to see how much they are learning and that is amazing. We have been practising ‘I have...’ and ‘I don’t have...’ so I get a lot of ‘me have...’ and ‘me no have’ which is definitely progress and probably not dissimilar to my use of Spanish!



Feliz Primavera! Happy Spring!
The end of September was the start of Spring here and with it the good weather, mostly. With every day or two of beautiful weather we have a storm, weird but true. Weather news...has been reaching highs of approx 32 degrees Celsius...lovely. At school we also had a 'Spring Fling' where the children came dressed as animals...check out two of my cuties!!


Spanish lessons are continuing...’going well’ would be a lie but ‘going’ would be an accurate description. Being the Special Needs child, the teacher loves me and I have special ‘talk when I want to’ privileges in class so is not all bad.


Had a long weekend in October so went to a town in Cordoba (about 10 hours on bus) for Oktoberfest, the German beer fest. There is a little town that hosts it every year and that was fun. A couple of friends and I didn’t book any accommodation so ended up sleeping in a hostel common room after paying to camp but without a tent...we considered sleeping in the open air however, those who know how ‘well’ I camp could guess that I quickly shot down that idea and went for the wooden bench INSIDE idea. Was a lot of fun; beer, friends, sunshine, hail storms, random people...


We have thanksgiving off, whatever that is, so am heading to the beach for a few days at the end of this month. Enjoying Argentina...places, food and people!


For you peeps that are praying for me can you please pray for the school and continue to pray for my Spanish and general settling in here.
