March and Easter.

I would apologise for my lack of Blog posts however you should be grateful because any posts would have been boring, mundane life stuff. March was one of those average months...I spent my life teaching, jogging, trying to learn Spanish and all the other everyday things life involves.

Oh, just remembered something I did...I ran a 7km race (with a couple of the teachers (above) and some of the students). It was for Unicef and was around the parks in Palermo...I loved it and love this city!! I am still in training for the half marathon and am in awe of Hel Bel who completed hers in good time and looked awesome! You will have some awful pictures to look forward to after I complete mine. That is, if I complete mine...I am running but it is tough and sometimes I think that if the race day is one of those 'crap running days', I may never make it!! ha. Hopefully my running buddy Joanna will ensure I do not fail!!

My friend Joanna has had a friend, Naomi, to stay for the past couple of weeks which has been fun. I love meeting new people and she has been a fun addition to the Espana crew. We have seen some of the city and went to see a tango show one night whoch was cool. I also liked her that bit more when she baked like a hundred cookies...it's the small things in life that make me happy, like a good cup of tea and a home-made cookie. Sweet.

For Easter I went to Mendoza, it is on the West side of Argentina and is one of their famous wine regions. I went with a friend, Christy. Was an ideal break. On the first day, we hired a tandem and biked around some of the bodegas, tasting wine and enjoying the good weather and good food. Yes, it does seem crazy that biking and drinking is encouraged. It is pretty crazy. We also hired a guide one day who took us to some of the smaller bodegas, was fabulous to learn the history of each Bodega, have a look around and taste wines. We also spent one day just chillaxing, we went for a run and had a picnic in the park. Christy has been living the high life of just travelling for the past month (jealous! apart from the bed bugs, definately not jealous of that). However, a few days of sunshine, a lot of wine, good food and a new place was just what I needed!

And for my last bit of really exciting news...I'm pregnant! Ha, not really (as if!). My sister Natalie is arriving in Argentina on the 14th April for 2 weeks so I am already way too excited about that...roll on the good times!

Miss you all as always but now only 91 days until I am on English soil again!! xxx
