Buenos Aires was good fun. La Boca was the old quarter where the immigrants wouldstay when they artrived.It was very colourful and had been ¨jazzed up¨a bit for the tourists, but well worth the visit.The last day we were there I had an admin day and wandered around on my own. In the evening we went to a tang show in the cellar of one of the oldest cafes in the city. The dancers were very good, probably because the Tango Academy was next door. (This computer is abit difficult and won´t let me create paragraphs, sorry) Wethen drove across Argentina towards the Iguazu Falls. They are very spectacular. The power created by what seems to be slow moving water when you look at the top, is quite stunning. After viewing them from the Argentinian side we went to the Brazilian side. Same water but the different view was wellworth the walking. A birdsancuary in the afternoon was good fun and colourful. Then we drove towards the Pantanel... the edge of the rain forest. Staying on a working farm, which now also caters for tourists. Good food and bar! We saw lots of birds and animals, some even went piranah fisshing. Now we are in Bonito and will be driving across Brazil, starting on 26th. Ihope all who read this have agood Christmas... hope to write more before the New Year!

Happy New Year!
I did get your card! Thank you. Others didn´t make it... probably went to the wrong Bonito!
Looking forward to Cuba and seeing Linda and Tony.
See you soon after I get back
Love

So your Bonito is in the south or west of Brazil - now I might be able to find it on GEarth. There are an awful lot of Bonitos in Brazil!!
Andy is fetching his Mum tomorrow & she is staying until Boxing Day. We're having pork loin - 3kg of it!!!!!
Dog show Saturday - that means the fun of bathing Ekko on Friday night!! Don't expect to do any good but it's good socialising for him. These little shows cost not a lot.
Hens still laying - alternate days 1 egg!! A bit out of sync I think.
Andy "playing" in garage whilst I hoover. The dog keeps chewing up his fleece and leaving bits all over the carpets.
Have a really good Christmas with hopefully some cards from the UK?
Merry Christmas
Love Joan & Andy & Ekko
