Sat., Dec. 27 Hope you're having nice holiday daze

P-day acitivity with six senior couples makes for a fun Saturday...

LaBoca is an old Italian part of the city...which took us 45 minutes on the city bus from the area office. We shoppped at little booths and in their little shoppes for souvenirs of Argentina. I got some postcards is about all. We wanted to buy some carved wooden gauchos, but Sally said they were double the price where she had bought some at another place...so we're waiting till later.
We had a 45-min bus ride there from Santa Fe Avenue near the area office, shopping about an hour, an Argentine steak for lunch took an hour, then back the 45-min. It's fun to be with these new friends. It sprinkled a little this morning so we all took our umbrellas, but by afternoon it was muggy hot...89 degrees. The AC felt so cool in the car driving back to apartment from the office after the hot bus ride, where you guessed it....we had a nap. Well, Grampa had a nap while I'm doing the blog....now I'm going to have a short siesta.
Hey.....it's the custom of the culture here. I know....Janie and Brian, you'll say it's a custom your mission president didn't let you join in on....but hey, when you return at age 70 with your sweethearts you'll get to siesta and fiesta with the senior couples your age then. Something to look forward to.....
