Buenos Aires

So this crazy family is off to Buenos Aires in the April school holidays. I put us into debt by buying us plane tickets (Qantas' kids fly free offer, carefully timed so we were sure of getting the government hand out we don't really need so we spend it on reckless trips to Latin America) and booking an apartment for 2 weeks. Matt has already become semi-proficient in Spanish by constantly listening to podcasts of a Scottish teach Spanish show on his new i-Pod touch we bought him for his birthday (just managing not to ruin his birthday seeing as I seized my back a few days earlier and couldn't do anything to prepare except try to help the kids make him breakfast and go back to bed). Last night we all watched Nueve Reinas (Nine Queens) to get used to being scammed and pickpocketed (just joking, hopefully no portenos are reading this). We start Spanish lessons on Tuesday with a Mexican friend of our Chilean friend Ariel, who has promised to help us practice. Atifa specified I had to rent an apartment with a garden (it's got a courtyard) so we can hide Easter eggs. Finding Easter eggs is her highest priority.
