Busy Busy Bee!

These last two weeks have flown by!!! Whew! It seems that after a loooooong dry spell, we have finally entered our high season for foreign travelers here in Rosario which means lots of work for me! We have had 4 students in the last two weeks: two from London, one from the US, and one from Germany...all of which are traveling South America on little to no Spanish. It has been fun, but I am glad it is Friday and I can hibernate in my home, where it is warm and quite and no one will know if I tuck myself in as soon as I am done writing this blog entry (shhh it is only 9pm here!)

So, I am officially 18 weeks along and finally starting to show. I mean, if you ask me, I was starting to show from the 2nd month, though it looked more like a food baby, it was more in my head than anything. No, howver, it is not only me who notices, but the entire world! Last week, for the first time, someone gave me their seat on the completely full, standing room only, bus ride towards downtown. This means that it is now obviously visable that I am with child. Each time this good natured act of civil kindness occurs I secretly smile to myself, tickled by the excitement of entering this new stage of life; motherhood.



Back tracking two weeks, here I am doing what I do best these days:

EAT!



I have rediscovered this cafe named Ross. It resides in the upstairs of an antique turn of the century home, declared as historical patrimony and seems to be forgotten as a hot-spot for lunch, meaning: it is a beautiful place to sit in silence, eat a homemade lunch, and read my book of the week while I quietly allow the sunshine to kiss me from the large arched windows looking over the busy streets of downtown.

(as you can see, it is not only my belly that has grown in size and stature...)

The book I was reading does not really deserve to be mentioned as it did not even make it onto my top 2o list. It was entertaining enough and I sped through it though the storyline was lacked in quality and development...soooo on to better things.

Other highlights of this week include, but are not limited to:

The 3rd Annual Kite Festival!!!!

There were said to be over 300 kites in the air at any one time. Kids running and jumping to catch the wind, adults running to catch their children and their children within...it was an absolute delight!

Here are my two favorite views of the day:


And now...drum roll please...
