Hola again!!

Sooooo....I am still loving working at the orphanage and last week I felt like I was able to do alot more and the kids are getting to know me now so I really love it!  I have been making endless paper planes and blowing countless bubbles as well as taking the kids to the park and generally showing them attention and love which they otherwise don´t get.  There are lots of new people in my residence so lots of new friends!  Night life in BA is still amazing although I have a bit of a cold so might tone it down a bit!  I am still finding new areas of the city that I love which is amazing and I only have a week and a half left here!  can´t believe how quickly time is going.

Mum and Dad arrived on Friday and are leaving tomorrow morning.  It has been really nice having them here as I was able to show them the sights and in return they bought me some pretty nice meals which as a backpacker I am not quite able to afford!  On Saturday I gave them the grand tour of the city and on Sunday we popped across the River Plate to Uruguay for the day.  We went to a little town called Colonia which is very pretty but as Dad summed it up, two days in colonia would be a day and a half too long!  So we explored the historic town, had some lunch and headed home.  On Monday we went up to Iguazu falls which is a 2 hour flight away.  We went straight to the Brazillian side to get a phenomenal over view of the falls which completely blew me away.  Today we went to the Argentinian side and went on a boat which took us under one of the falls where we got absolutely drenched but soon dried off in the 37 degree heat!  The falls are absolutely incredible and it was great to be able to see them with Mum and Dad.  I think they had a great time over here and were chuffed with 3 countries in 5 days!

I am really looking forward to properly traveling now but I am going to try and do as much as I can for the orphanage in the next week and half.  Planning on painting the house with a group of friends but I have to get that organised!  Spanish still going well, I enjoyed translating for Mum and Dad and felt pretty smug saying they were tourists but I live in the city!

Hope everyone is well, xxxxxxxxxxxx
