Miramar

We went to Miramar for one week.
The bus trip to go took 5 hours.
We stayed in a apartment facing the beach.
It was beautiful view of the sea.
I had a great time in Miramar.
The thing that I will remember the most about Miramar is the sea.


This is the beach at Miramar.












Ollie and I playing on the beach.

This is the shop that sells chocolates and alfajores.

This is a hot chocolate drink called ¨submarine¨.

Dia de la Tradicion

On the weekend of the 8Th and 9Th November we went by micro (bus) to San Antonio de Areco where they celebrate El Dia de la Tradicion.

We stayed in a house that had 2 bedrooms, dining room, sitting room, kitchen and bathroom. It also had a veranda that went around the whole house and a garden out the back. There were toys and bicycles for us to use.

After lunch we went to a park over the old bridge where the gauchos were riding their horses, taming wild horses and lots of other competitions on horseback. One time a horse came bolting to the fence and everyone got up and ran away.

The girls were dressed in pretty dresses and the boys were dressed in pants and a t-shirt with a leather belt with coins and a knife.

The next day in the Plaza we saw a parade with the people on horses that had come from long distances. Me and Oliver had a lollipop which was the shape of a cone.

The weekend went very quickly and then it was time to go back home.

What I'll remember most about San Antonio de Areco is the lollipop!

La Falda, Cordoba

We went to La Falda for 5 days.
We caught a bus at 9pm and arrived at 8am, the seats went right back and we slept most of the way.
We stayed in a lovely hotel with a pool called Residencial Old Garden.
Oliver and Lucia shared one bedroom and my mum and I slept in a bedroom with a connecting door.

Last time we went to La Falda it was during the summer holidays so there were lots of people everywhere. This time there were just the people that lived there.

We went to Neverland everyday and collected coupons to pick prizes on the last day.
For Halloween Lucia bought me a witches hat and broomstick so we could get extra fichas (tokens).

When we were there we went on a tour of this very old hotel called Hotel Eden and it was so big.
You could get every meal there, from their own vegetable patch and their own animal farm with chickens and cows. It was the first building in La Falda but it is a museum now.

Don Bosco Argicultural School

Today we went to visit my cousin Lucia´s school.

They had lots of animals and also they made cheese, jam, Dulce De leche (caramel spread but better).

It took us a long time too get there because it was in the country.

It was like a farm we saw pigs, cows, goats and many more animals.

They also had a workshop to fix tractors, a shed to make animal feed, a place to fix furniture and another to store vehicles.

One of the workmen found some screaming hairy armadillos in the paddock and had them in a box. Armadillos have a hard shell on their back and a snout like an echidna. They are native to this area.

We bought some cheese, jams and dulce de leche to have at home. Yum!

Parque De La Costa

Yesterday we went to Parque de La Costa!
This is an amusement park on the river El Tigre, Buenos Aires.
We went with there with Rodrigo and Francisco who are two of our cousins.

First we caught a train to Constitucion, then the subway to Retiro, another train to Mitre and THEN the Tren de La Costa to Delta.

It was a very long trip but it paid off because it had 3 ROLLER COASTERS,1TOBOGGAN and ROCK CLIMBING but there is so much that I can not tell you every thing and at night we saw a WATER SHOW and it was so spectacular then we went on all the transport again.

Last we dropped off Francisco and Rodrigo home.

I HAD A VERY GREAT DAY.

Catching Up

We have been very busy this week and these are the thing we have been doing.

At the zoo we saw flamingos, zebras, reptiles, elephants, lions, cheetah, jaguar, pumas, llamas, alpacas, guanaco, vicuñas, bison, goats, camels, reindeer, baboons, spiders, scorpions, giant insects, colourful parrots, alligator, rhinos and antelopes. The baboon was very funny to watch it eat.You could buy buckets of food for some animals.

We also went to Valeria´s party and Sussy's birthday party . Sussy's party was at my cousin Robert's house. These were the photos I took.

In Buenos Aires City

In the city we went a science museum.

You could touch everything.

We saw lots of interesting things there like how musical instruments work, how pulleys and ropes work and tornados.

We had pizza for lunch.

Last of all we had yummy ice cream from a shop called Freddo. I had limon y frutilla which is lemon and strawberry.
