My sister´s birthday

Argentina has been great. My sister just had her birthday and we had a great time. Mom went back to Piriapolis for a bit. See u later. 

Three Cheers for Argentina!!

When we arrived in Argentina, we rented a car and drove to Lujan from Buenas Aires. When we got there, they were setting up a band stand. Then we got to hear a Argentinian band. They were quite good and two of my sisters purchased a CD. After that, the mayor of the town pronounced that there was going to be a hot air balloon and fireworks. In the middle of the plaza there was an awesome tree that was hallow on the inside and it was a bit slanted so everybody wanted to climb up the tree and slide down like a slide. Then, these nasty old men who were guards, came and yelled at us and told us to get down from the tree. We got back on after a new band of children had come. Then, when another guard came, I had to get off and my dad would not allow me to climb the tree again since the guards had said no. There was lots of stray dogs and I named every single one. While we were going to church, one of them bit Elli. The nice ladies in the ladies bathroom called the doctor and she came and said Elli would have to get a tetanus shot. So right now, that is just what Mom, and Elli are doing. Dad promised that we would have ice cream later because it is a rule in Argentina that, ¨you have to have ice cream after you get a tetnus shot,¨ but I think he just made that up to be nice. On my next blog post, since I don´t have my camera with me, I will post pictures. See you soon, Chris.

The town of Piriapolis is a cute town and we’re within walking distance to the beach. We’re staying in a two-story house right now, with a view of the ocean. Since we got to Piriapolis, I’ve had a horrible ear infection.

There have been a lot of interesting thunder and lightening storms here. We can watch the lightening strike over the ocean. Every night we hear these frogs, which I haven’t actually seen yet, which sound like screaming cats. Later this week we are going to go whale watching and I hope to see a few. There are lots of stray cats and dogs around here, and they’re all very nice.

Ever since I got here I’ve been looking for a small remote control car to play with, but they’re very expensive here. I’m missing everybody at home and I’ve still found no baseballs.
