Nuts and more nuts Guess you are now in the home of the Brazils, interesting to see if you can find any Brazil nuts, don't mean the people. Is it carnival time there, it always seems to be, music, dancing, drinking, eating, party time ? Hope you are enjoying it all--good luck
Fiddling taxi drivers Hope someone passes a few dud notes to that taxi driver but good for you getting rid of it (hope the bar man doesn't recognise you again!!) Poor show that Che Guevara's place was not made more of. As you say they are obviously not too bothered about him. Hope your sense of direction isn't deteriorating (perhaps you are a little disorientated visiting all these countries etc) and you can find your way home. Or try clicking the heels of those red shoes whilst saying "there's no place like home" and suddenly there you are - home (remember Wizard of Oz). Won't be long now. Enjoy the rest of your journey.

It steaks two to tango!! Those steaks seem to be getting bigger by the day and sound mouth wateringly deeeelicious. Received the postcard and noted that it was you on the picture doing the tango (who was that man you were dancing with) and is he coming home with you. He looks very interesting!! Hope you managed to pick up some bargains in the market after all. Keep on dancing. Love J
Book deal. Hey Muppet, just been catching up on your latest and greatest adventures..sounds like your having the time of your life...you shouldwrite a book when you get back :-) (after buying me a beer!)
Hasty retreat Sounds like the name of a convent, with the film "Nuns on the run " it sure seems you wore of the calories when you finished your meal--was the meal nice ? Expect you didn't leave a tip.
Bargins I guess it would appear most of the time you spent "Bargin Hunting ", did you do any good ? Hope your interest in Latin American dancing will help your future CV , now you have first hand experience.
Know your north and south Shame you went the wrong way on the bus, you had better take care when catching the plane or you might end up back in Chile, good for you with the dud note, what comes around goes around, I taxi drivers are in some instances the same the world over
Tango and steak Thought it was a drink--at my age that is all it means--you should have had ago--can only get locked up onc (maybe 2/3 times ) see you are getting the taste for good steak, have to loose that before you come home ?
Wonderful Sounds absolutely wonderful. Think I would really enjoy it. Don't know if I'd get Dad there though! So you will be a big steak eating. Tango dancer when you come back providing there is alcohol to drink?? Have fun xx
Cocktail;s Seems you are joining in the style of B.A. with the smart set, cocktail or two or three then move on to the night life (or morning life ) don't burn the candle too much
Six for one or half a dozen of the other Yes his maths takes a lot of beating but worked in your favour - or did it due to the next day being best forgotton! Still, life is for living although he may not have thought so by the next day. Steak sounds fantastic - please ship some back to us as we are drooling with the thought of it. Yummy. Seems a lot of agitated people in Argentina with all those demos going on. Keep clear of the argy bargy!!! Love to you.
Old friends Meeting up with old friends like Mr Sickie Ozzie is the life of a traveller. No doubt he will make good use of the 80p beer - does it get any cheaper. Traffic dodging on such a grand scale seems rather scary and needs all your survival skills just to make it to the other side. Be careful. I can see a large steak looming on the horizon (no good being a veggie there is it?) It sounds a very up market place with abundance of wealth. Just the lifestyle you have been used to so far don't you know!! (Or so I hear from a reliable source). Sounds a magnificent cemetery and interesting to see where Eva Peron is buried. Take care. xxx
Marriage? Mmm very interesting journey. You never know about marines. They carry pictures with them of the girl they will marry - oh dear. And just think you would have to make chilli con carne for the whole family all the while. Fun journey though. You will remember all these amusing times for years to come - carry on having good times. xx
The great hill climb What a feat you accomplished, really well done and as for mother number 1 thinking she would reach the top - not with her poor knees at present! Certainly a very busy time you had there. The hot spings sound just the thing after all your efforts on the climb. All sounded wonderful.
What a surprise today (22nd) I had wonderful birthday wishes from South America - my little one remembered - I was overwhelmed and send many thanks. It made by day.
You are both obviously like Dr Doolittle in attacting all these animals.
We hope to be given lessons in the tango on your return as it seems you have become somewhat of an expert.
Cheers--Hic It seems you have got good value for money in the drinks department, courtesy of our old colonial friend----fly the flag, cheers, have another one
2 X table It seems you hook up with the right folks--who are not sure about their maths, but Iguess this does save you a lot of cash. Seems you are still very active wioth the market research, moving more up-market ?
On the move You have arrived safe and sound keep it that way, lots to see and do over this side of the Ocean---many places still to be explored in S. America and things to be discovered. A little bit mind blowing when you think about in this day and age. Good luck take care.
Hectic Sounds a very hectic city. You could lose weight by just keep crossing the road. Remember there are more calories in a Mc Donalds salad than in a beef burger!!! Food for thought. Never mind you will soon be home and the weight will drop of you . Have fun xx
