Our house! (Izzy)

Hello, all! I have missed you guys a lot!!! How are things? Daniel and I both have birthday parties coming up! Daniel is planing on going to a fun place called Espanta Pajaros with his friends, and I am going to have a dance party with mine! My friend Macarena and I are both having the party together in my house and we are going to try to take lots of pictures. We are renting a mirror ball and everything! I hope it goes well. And that nobody brings confetti (it can get a bit hard to clean out of the grass...)

Also, I cut my hair again! Well, Mom did, but I decided on the style. If you've seen Bridge to Tarabithia, it's like the girl's hair, only not blonde. Here is a picture:









Well, I have to go, but I promise I'll blog again soon, because we finally have internet again (it goes on and off...)

Road Trip-

Well, it has been a couple of weeks since our last post and we were traveling like crazy. After our friends the Crenshaws left we still had some vacation before the kids returned to school. We decided to take a road trip throughout northern Argentina. We drove over 3,000 kilometers in 8 days! Along the way we saw desert canyons, jungle mountains, colonial architecture, lots of llamas, more indigenous culture and salt flats that went almost as far as the eye can see. And though at times we may have been pushed to the edge of killing each other (i.e. while driving on a bumpy gravel road at 12,000 feet of elevation)...we survived! Our favorite city was Salta (could live there in a minute) and I think our favorite vista was along the Quebrada de las Conchas. Favorite sign was the "watch out for loose llamas" sign. Here is a link to see a few of the pictures we took along the way!
