Hola mis amigos y mi familia. After a very stressful transfer which included so much turbulence I grabbed the old argentian woman in the night and woke her, sitting in the jump seat for land so I could sprint to the gate for my follow on flight and discovering the stupidity in not packing a book, I made it to Santa cruz!
The family are lovely, however I am rapidly learning Spanish as only Marcelo and his son speak English. I am sharing the daughters bedroom but we have a giggle attempting to chat!
Yesterday I met with the governors wife and we visited a home for malnourished children; here they said there is a siniliar but bigger home in the countryside I could live and work at. we then visited a home run by nuns for girls up to age 18 who have been abandoned or abused, I also could work here and it is very close to marcelos home. Then today we visited another orphanage simply for children with no parents; I think I will be working here first and then maybe at the other places.
Today I went to the wildlife park with marcelos son; Marcelo and then with marcelos daughter, Paola, to her friends house, where I had my first wine of the trip!! This evening I am going with Marcelo (jr) and his friends for dinner. Although speaking with people is tough I feel happier today feeling more part of the action!!
I have been eating fresh fruit for breakfast, meat and veg for lunch and no wine or fags!!! What a healthy, virtuous lifestyle I now have!! The weather is scorching but being in a city there's not much sunbathing! On Saturday I think we're headed to a pool (my idea!!) to soak up the rays!!
I'm missing everyone terribly, please email me all news!!!! xxxxxxxx
