Country Number 6 : URUGUAY!
We went to Uruguay just for a couple of days to sit on the beach! Sit on the beach we did and Karalynn got a very bad burn but well what can you do? Add more sun screen ya i know!!!! Matt thinks he is so funny he came up with a little nickname for me white bum red tummy because of my burn. It was very hot but very touristy, which means expensive. We really did just go there to sit on the beach and then we came back to Buenas Aires. We really enjoy Buenas Aires, there is so much to do. Yesterday we went to some of the sites. We went to the Cemetary. I am sure that i have explained how cemetaries are here, but if i havent there are no bodies barried in the ground its like they all have little houses. This cemertary is just for the elite in and around Buenas Aires so the houses are outrageous. Its like they were all trying to show off their money even in death. All the tombs were made out of marbal and there was some amazing stone statues. The cemertary covers 4 city blocks and has over 6400 different families barried there. We then were trying to get to the botanical gardens but some how we went to this other chinese botanical garden. In the pond there were huge colorful fish that would follow you around the pond with their mouths open. We thought they were going to eat the pigeons! Last but no least we went to a tango musical called Tanguera. The story was same old same old boy loves a girl and girl loves the guy but there is some other dude causing a ruckus!!!! It was really good, kinda X rated! Matt really liked it as did I. This dosent seem like much but afterwards we went to dinner and found one of the first cesar salads since i left home. You people in the 1 st world countries should not take the good supermarkets for granted!!!
Today we are going to another part of the city that is known for how all the buildings are all bright colors because this crazy artist guy saw a work of art in the cityscape! There is also the stadium for the argentina national soccer team. So on game day it is wild. Then at 8 pm tonight we go on a 12 hour ride to Mendoza. This is supposed to be the most beautiful city in Argentina. there are wineries that surround the entire city, and beautiful landscape. We only have three more stops before the trip is over for Matt. We cant believe how fast time has flown by.
Mom (kathy) dont worry everything will work out.
Mom (barbara) could you call the city and find out when i will be called for orientation.

You are doing and seeing so many amazing things- this is definitly the trip of a lifetime. I'm glad things are going so well. The cemeteries sound really interesting, and I love the idea of someone seeing art in a city scape and bringing it to life. Things are crazy here, as usual. I'm at work at the moment; this job is going fairly well. It's easy and good money. School is crazy, as always, and the Sustainable Energy Fair is about to take up a lot of my time. I don't exactly have much of a social life at the moment, and finding time to see James can be a difficulty. He's picking me up from work today though, so at least I won't forget what he looks like. Sit on the beach and drink a margarita for me,
much love,
Jenn
Hey guys, nice to know things are going well. Happy B'day Matt! Reminder that A. Brenda will pick you up. Luv, A. Sherry
