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!

Big chocolate footballs

The other week when I was at the grocery store I noticed these big
chocolate footballs nicely decorated all over the store, most in nice
cellophane packaging, I had no idea what this was all about. All I
could think was that it had something to do with back to school presents.

Well today Chris and I are shopping and take a better look at the "big
chocolate footballs", no, they're not footballs, of course not, they are
big chocolate eggs!

Some are small, but most of them are really big, as big or bigger than
footballs! They looked yummy!

We skipped that, did get some ice cream, which can be expensive. There
is some ice cream here that is $8 per liter! I guess Ben and Jerry's
costs as much?
