Well its been a while! Ok so I seem to start all posts with that particular sentence or something similar! I will try not to in future!

Over christmas and new year, I was off travelling argentina which was very exciting. I have put all my photos on facebook, so i won't post any here, as there are sooooo many of them! I had such a good time, it was fantastic, and I really love argentina. So anyway, if you are interested, you can pretty much see what i was up too from that! It includes getting covered in mud during some fangotherapy in mendoza, which by the way leaves your skin feeling soooo smooth!!!! to cyclying up and down mountains in bariloche, I cycled 66 km in 6 hours! Trust me when I say that its a long way!

More recently I started work at the argentine british chamber of commerce, which i have enjoyed so far! I finished the months newsletter last week, and that got sent out. I wrote it single handidly, though people in the office kept passing me things to include so wasn't short of ideas! I'm going to have to start the next one soon because this one went out a little late.
I have been emailing dfferent companies when they make trade enquiries and things which is nice, and lots of brainstorming goes on for the fundraising event we are holding in march.
Everyone is really nice in the office, and they all bring things in to share, so we spend most of the time drinking coffee and eating anything from cheese and grapes to medialunas (argentine croissants)! Yummy!

The weather is rather hot here, its been around 33 degrees for the past couple of days, or higher than that at times. The heat is oppressive, but you get used to it, and i'm not outside that much anyway, as I am at work. However taking the tube in the mornings is horrible, between the heat and the overcrowdedness, urgh. To combat the weather, i have been to my friends flat a couple of times. They have a pool, so its always nice to visit!!!

Anyway, I am going out now, so will post again soon!

  • What are Argentine croissants like?

    It sounds like you continue to have an amazing time though. Travel is good :)

    Particularly so when it's winter here... 33 degrees, I'm so jealous.
