Gobble Gobble




I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. My friends Tom and Colleen were nice enough to host Thanksgiving LUNCH. It was delicious, as I have not had a Turkey in two years! Turkey in Spanish is PAVO. They were able to find most of the traditional foods, minus the PUMPKIN PIE, but we had a Butternut Squash Pie and it was VERY good!

Speed Stacks







The New Bridge School (where I teach)asked me to host a Speed Stack class in English. Speed Stacks JUST came to Argentina about 2 months ago. We handed out flyer's to the younger groups. We had no idea how many kids would turn up... well.... 28 kids! A BIG success. With the help of the director's daughters, we were able to make sure all the kids were taught the basics! I spoke in English and they would translate. We did a relay race, a few competitions and built our first pyramid! We are going to host another class next Friday!

Juan's Trip












Here are a few photos of his trip down south! It was cold and here we were having a heatwave..crazy! Overall he had a great time. I am blessed we were able to give him an oppurtunity to visit another part of his country! At least he knew what SNOW was!
