Wiped Out

Mi casa es su casa, thats what I told her when I gave her the job to
watch the cat and apartment, well she took it to heart! The morning
after I arrived and went to the pantry for some cereal there wasn't any,
didn't think that Uruguayan kids liked Grape Nuts cereal but guess I was
wrong, thought for sure I had two boxes. Went to make coffee, thought
for sure I had left a kilo, I had enough for one pot. Well, I did tell
her to eat anything in the house and make herself at home : )

The Return To Uruguay

Whats my job? That was my first question when I got to my office, I
didn't know where to start! These computer things look familiar,
probably something to do with that. I'm back in the swing of things,
putting some of the stuff I learned at school to use, for once, LOL!

The weather has been cool, but not overly cold. Today was in the 70's.
Went to the mall to go grocery shopping, a Burger King opened at the
food court. A Whopper meal is 120 pesos, about $6.30USD, really wanted
one but passed. Prices at the grocery store have gone up a little, my
favorite Granny Smith apples have gone up from around 32 pesos per kilo
to 44 pesos, still less expensive than the U.S.

Got a haircut, that went up to, from 100 pesos to 120, still less
expensive than the U.S., same price as a BK Whopper meal : )

Greetings from Buenos Aires

Just arrived in BA, at a internet cafe. Not bad $5 for one hour. The drive from Virginia Beach to Dulles was horrible, what should have taken 4 hours took 6. Thought for sure I would miss my flight but made it in time with a biz class upgrade to boot : ) Slept the entire flight. United business class is good, but not great, the European carriers have nice business class. Fact is very difficult to get comfortable in United business class chairs, but the food is always good.

Flight to Montevideo leaves in a little over an hour.

I will blog more about my visit home to Virginia Beach when I settle down at the apartment.

Wonder how the cats are?

The Mother Of All Thai Peppers

Chris and I went out for Thai food the other night. I ordered a spicey Thai dish and boy was it hot. I ate this one small Thai pepper that was burning hot! I had to put a packet of sugar on my tongue to neuatralize the heat.

Unfortunatley our waitress never returned to fill my water glass, even though I was sitting there wiping the sweat from my face constantly.

But the food was good!
