Hi,
Greetings from Argentina.
Clara and Emma enjoyed the taxi ride to the airport and running through JFK. They had no interest in sleeping during our wait, but like their Mommy, liked seeing the planes and chatting it up with travelers. The flight was okay. We had a delay at the airport and had to switch gates when they found a plane. Then, once we were on, they had to change the flight pattern because it would have interefered with a missile launch in FL- yes, they told us that. They served dinner at around 12 am on the plane and kept the lights on. Clara and Emma were overtired. Finally, they turned the lites off and Clara went right to sleep. Not Emma. Some screaming and crying- which didnt go over with the two guys in front of us and one of the flight attendants. Oh well. Emma watched tv and finally fell asleep for a few hours. Funny enough, even though the dr said Claras ears would be fine, she had the most problems and was crying and holding her ears...
Dannys cousins Irina and Martin and their two kids Julieta and Joaquin met us at the airport with another cousin, Pablo. It was sunny and warm! After a short ride, the gang arrived at the vacation home of Dannys aunt and uncle. We sat down and enjoyed a nice lunch and then all took a nap together. The ladies enjoyed playing outside with everyone and have adjusted really well. They are saying hola and gracias and counting in spanish.
Today, Clara and Emma slept until 10 ( 8 am our time) and enjoyed breakfast, before playing at the playground. They loved the big slide and swings. They enjoyed sitting with their cousins at lunch and had steak and potatoes. Lunch is a big big meal and is around 1230-1. After lunch, it was naptime. In the late afternoon, Clara and Emma went swimming!! The pool is heated and it was just warm enough to go in. At around 630 here, everyone enjoys snack- toast, cheese, mate, coffee, and pastries. They are watching tv now with their cousins, Joaquin and Julieta (who loves playing with them). We will feed them dinner at around 830 (630 our time) and put them down around 9. Our schedule works well here because of the time change of being 2 hours ahead here...
Mommy should note that her favorite thing is the reduced calorie alfahores which are chocolate rice cakes with some dulce de leche- yes, Mommy will bring some home!
More soon.
Love, Arin, Danny, Clara and Emma
