Updates

Hey everyone sorry we took so long to bring ya´ll up to date. Its really hard to get to the internet over here. Plus we keep running out of time. Wednesday we got in around 11 am. The couple we are staying with, Sebastian and Ruth are very nice. They made us a nice lunch of chicken. Me and Mike walked around their barrio, Barracas, and had some ice cream. You can see how tired I was

Thursday morning we got up early and went to Bethel. It was an hour bus ride to get there. Their Bethel is huge. Took all morning to see everything, starting on the first tour at 830. We still didn´t see all the printery since we ran out of time. We took the tour with some nice brothers visiting from the Colombia branch. They are going to the int´l assembly in Chile. Here´s a pic of the printing machine in argentina

After that we ate lunch at a buffet. That evening we went to meeting. They have a very friendly congregation. Friday me and Mike went to Calle Florida aka Times Square of Buenos Aires. We walked around and saw the Obelisco and Puerto Madero. I wasn´t feeling too good after that, think I caught a stomach virus so we headed back home. That evening at 900 we had dinner at a brothers house, an asado.

Saturday we took the bus tour of Buenos Aires. It takes you to all the major attractions in the city and you can get off and on as you want. It rained all day long!!! We went to the cementary Recoleta to see Evita´s grave. When we were going in we ran into some brothers and sisters who are here for the int´l assembly in Peru. They had their badges on so we knew they were brothers :) Didn´t think to take a picture with them till after they left. Today we had another asado aka bbq at the couple´s house we are staying with. I think its the best asado we´ve had so far. Right now we are in Caminito in La Boca. Their is a street fair going on and ppl eating and having a good time. I would upload more pictures but we only have 30 minutes on this computer so we´ll have to go for now. I´ll try to update again soon, hopefully in the next couple days. Hope everyone is doing well up there. Till next time.

We have been up since 3 am today 10-27-09 and flown on 2 flights so far and not in argentina yet. this is crazy to me cuz i love to fly but this is way too much. we have about 2 hours until our flight departs to argentina which is expected to be about 10hours long. with that being said we are very excited to get out of these clothes woo hoo and take a shower (tomorrow) and go straight to bed (for ever) haha, we are very excited to explore buenos aires and i cant wait to see my family and the friends in cordoba. we will try to keep this blog posted as much as possible and we both look forward to seeing everyone back in the good old USA. take care yall

last day in NC

We have been packing all week it seems. We are taking 3 massive suitcases one carryone and a small toiletry bag. In all fairness only one of the massive suitcases is ours the other two are for the brothers and friends down there. Just so you get an idea of what we are taking here are some photos.
The suitcase in the middle is ours the two on the end are full of clothes and gifts.

This is our carryon bag and the toiletry bag that is getting checked.

I can't believe this is it. We are finally going. Woohoo! And tomorrow when we are in NY we are going to Brooklyn Bethel and having lunch there. I'm excited haven't had lunch there since I was a little girl. Anyhoo next time I write to my blog we'll either be in Mexico or Buenos Aires.
Our kitty thought she could sneak on with us, heehee!

argentina

Well a week from today we'll be on the plane right now flying to mexico city. Can't believe it has been over 3 months since we bought our tix for Argentina. Its coming up real fast and I feel like we have so much stuff left to do. When we're down there I will try to update the blog every couple of days so my avid readers can see where we are and what we are doing. Our plan is to spend Wednesday 28th - Sunday Nov. 1 in Buenos Aires. Then flying to Cordoba and staying there from Monday 2nd - Thursday 5th. Thursday we are renting a car and driving out to the campo to visit friends of Mike's from when he lived out there. Monday 9th we fly back to Buenos Aires and spend the day with friends. Then that night board the plane and begin the long journey home. We land back in NYC on Tuesday 10th at 4:40 pm. Needless to say we will be wiped out.

trips, trips and more trips

So its been a while since I've posted my going ons. Me and Mike had a good time at the wedding in Pennsylvania back in September. I took lots of pics but my fave picture was of the bride, I LUV her dress.

So after the weekend in PA the next weekend flew out to Vegas for my little cuz's graduation party. Had a good time hanging out with family, going to the strip, and of course the party!
this was at the swap meet in vegas

Psych

I know I should be updating this with the past two vacations I took. But until I load the pics there really is no point. In the meantime, if you don't watch Psych you really should check out Bollywood Homicide. Funny as always and I love the bollywood theme. For your sampling pleasure



Go watch it now!

The Beatles™: Rock Band™

So right now I'm wishing I had xbox 360 or wii or some other gaming platform so I could run out like everyone else and buy the new Beatles™: Rock Band™. Alas, though, I do not. So I have to wait for one of my hip cool friends to invite me to their house to play *ahem* hint hint. Until that time I will sit at home and listen to them on my cd player or mp3 player.

Btw I think the "cinematic video" (that's what it is called on the Rock Band site) is awesome. So had to share the link.
