It's siesta time but considering I only got up three hours ago i feel abit guilty about going back to bed. It's too hot to do anything so it's time to blog! I'm back in Tucuman in Northern Argentina this week staying with the De Rosa Family. I spent a summer with them after my final year at Uni so after four and half years I came back to say hello and catch up alitte.
Tucuman has changed a lot, alot more affluent than before, a buzz of activity and purpose in the air that was absent before. Talk about different rhythms. Last night we went out for alittle night tour of Tucuman and for something to eat. We sat down to have dinner at 11.45 and main course at 12.15!One of the girls Emilia had a little baby girl Loudes 6 weeks ago. We picked her up from a evening with her friends, baby in tow and she came along with us to eat. No problem that it was late for the baby or anything.
I seem to be sleeping tons. Maybe its this new rhythm of going to bed every night at 1.30/2 but the morning I'm not even waking in the morning! maybe i'm just recovering from all the early starts last week but with it been so hot you wake balmed in heat,your brain fussy and your body aching for more!
Clarita, the mum is a saint here! Waiting hand and foot on all the kids. The kids are all in the twenty's so not quite kids! They come home for lunch even though 4 of them are married now. The daily routine hasn't changed much other than she now looks after the two of the grandchildren as well in the morning. Yesterday a friend of Clari's callled for a coffee late afternoon. She speaks english so it was the perfect opportunity for her to practice abit. Clari was saying to her that the kids are taking up with the children in the evening. I knew what was coming. I've got a lovely son who's single. He'll take you out. An hour later she re appeared with a photo. look he's bueno! Fortunately last night I seem to have avoided a drink with a random stranger!not so sure about tonight though
Clari has a little pool at home so I'm off to get changed and chill out by the pool reading. It's been a nice touch back with reality this week before I set off on Sunday to Mendoza.
Have a good weekend everybody and lots of love for yesterday XXX
