Feliz Natal!!! Merry Christmas!

Este Natal foi muito especial para mim, já que é o primeiro que passo neste mundo, sem estar dentro da barriguinha da minha mãe. É meu primeiro Natal e, que Natal!!!

Eu já ouvi vários amigos dos meus pais dizendo que eles são loucos...Definitivamente eu digo eles são loucos, mas loucos por aventura. Imagina que depois de atravessar de barco para o Uruguai, de viajar 20 horas dentro de um ônibus, indo de Buenos Aires para a Cordilheira dos Andes, e dando um pulo na ilha de Chiloé...depois de atravessar tantas montanhas e neve, de pegar tanta balsa.... agora eis que passamos este dia dentro de um navio em pleno Oceano Pacífico, na costa sul do Chile.




Ufa, depois de tudo isso, eu digo que ainda não acabou. O barco nos espera e Santiago, lá vamos nós!!!

Mas antes de seguir viagem aproveito para desejar aos nossos amigos muita felicidade.
Esses são os meus votos, mas é claro também são os de meu pai e de minha mãe, que estão aqui me ajudando a fazer esta postagem.

Feliz Natal!

Wednesday 10 December 2008

Buenos Aires, 1:20 am, December 11th.

It must have been the espresso and the yummy coffee ice cream that my mom ate that did it. For whatever reason, it is after 1 am and I am bouncing off the walls, crawling on the floor, ripping up guidebooks, and yelling happily to no one in particular.

My dad has been asleep for hours. When he stirred, my mom pointedly told him "Your daughter won't sleep." He muttered "Hit her then" and rolled over and went back to sleep.

He won't even remember it in the morning, I bet. Just to show him that he shouldn't say mean things like that, it's going on my blog.

Madonna and Elis storm Buenos Aires

Live from Buenos Aires. December 8, 2008.

Yes, it's true, and very annoying. It wasn't just me who had the great idea to visit Buenos Aires. If only I'd known that I'd have to compete with Madonna for attention, I might have changed my plans. Or worn more metal and glitter...

Here are some photos of the stops on my Buenos Aires tour. I'll try to write more when I get a chance, and I'll keep posting new photos all month as I travel around Argentina, Uruguay and Chile.

I hear that Madonna's heading to São Paulo next. As long as she doesn't turn up in Whitehorse, I'll let her get away with it...

Elis and Anthony's trip to the beach

Anthony is my cousin. He's 9 years old and his birthday present from my parents was a weekend at the beach. It wasn't my birthday, but they let me go along too....
