Christmas Eve

So here it is, December 24th in Argentina. I can`t get over how hot it is! Since most things here will be closed today and tomorrow, Ulala and i did our grocery shopping. WE thought we were being prepared but we got caught in a busy supermarket full of people doing the same as us. But a full cart and a long line later we had our groceries delivered (as they do here) and settled in for a long winter`s hot, restless nap.

Today our plans consist of very festively going to the park and getting a tan, maybe doing a little reading and studying, having a nice dinner (providing we can even find a restaurant that is open!). We might also catch one of the many many Christmas movies on TV (they`ve been playing them all week). It is bizarre to watch snow on TV while sweating profusely.

The pictures below are from Santiago de Chile, where we saw them building the giant Christmas tree in the city`s main square. It was weird to watch them making it. A bunch of guys were strapped in and hanging from the peak while laying the green parts and ornaments on the wire frame. Building Christmas.
