It's quite strange being on the other side of the world when we would usually be with our wonderful families and friends. We have booked ourselves into a little retreat on an island somewhere up the Parana river delta (so can't complain!), but we will be thinking of you and missing you!
The positive side of being here at this time of year is that the Argentinians don't go in for the Christmas build-up, and pre Chrissy here has been quite hype-free. There's refreshingly few chrissy ads, and almost no santas, decorations or out-of-tune carol singers. Yesterday (three days before Chrismas) was the first time we noticed any extra shoppers, and we haven't even seen road rage. Apparently Christmas here is about spending time over a good meal with loved ones. Nice.
As we eat our Chrissy-eve midnight feast (as per Argentinian custom), we will be thinking of our dear loved ones. We hope you have a wonderful day, and would love to be there to give you all big hugs!!!
Much love to all
E&A xx
PS This is Iguazu Falls, on the Argentinian/Brazilian border. Awesome.
