Transient families

As I walked to work yesterday I went over the hill as I usually do but this time as I came to the top I looked and there were several transient families camped out in the grass.

They come from the interior of Uruguay and Argentina during the summer mostly to panhandle.
As the season ends, they return. Not exactly sure how they return, I can't imagine them walking, but maybe they do.

Remains ID'd as missing Ohio soldier's

Nothing to do with Uruguay or being an expat, but I felt that this shouldn't be brushed under the rug.

This soldier has been missing since 2004, but the Army never gave up it's search for him.

Parties and the beach

A party Saturday night and a walk to the beach today for relaxing and
some sun. Is that all Chris and I ever do you ask? Sometimes I have to
wonder, LOL!
It's time for us to have a party, this will be interesting indeed!

Oh, a lady brought this chocolate cake with a cream topping and Heath
Bar crumble bits on top to the party, ymmmm.
Chris made a apple and blueberry crumble, ymmmm.
Chris also made nandu fajitas the other day, MMMMM, MMMM, MMMM!

TRivia, who remembers what nandu is?

Churros' y chocolate

Also the name of my year one Spanish class book in high school. I
always wondered about the delightful fried delicacy with chocolate
inside, and here it is decades later still wondering!

There is a small amusement park near our apartment with plenty of churro
stands. Chris mentioned she wanted a churro and I told her I had never
had one, she didn't believe me.

We went to the first churro stand, and that one year of Spanish at
Kempsville High School paid off as I ordered my churro y chocolate : )
It was soooo good!

Chris and I spent the afternoon in the park and decided to go through
the amusement park on our way home, a churro y creme, churro y queso and
a churro y dulce de leche later, we were home!
