Cluster meeting in Buenos Aires 2012


The DTA cluster meeting in Buenos Aires was so much fun. We stayed in a Hotel right on 9 de Julio, the widest street in the world. The strret is named after Argentina's Independence on July 9 1816. The 9 de Julio street has so many busy lanes coming and going that it takes several stop lights to go accross it. Our hotel was near two very famous streets full of vendors. No cars allowed, only pedestrians.  We saw Gabriel and Danae and went out to eat at many places including a Brazilian Rodisio, palacio de papa frita a French fried palace and milanesa and steak type restaurant. We went on a nice boat ride call El Tigre to a Tango show and on a tour to Teatro Colon. The traffic is as to be expected, busy!!

Mother's day 2012

This was such a fun thing I did for my mother. I told my sister Mari I would surprise her and it sure was a big surprise. She even sent a friend of hers to pick me up at the airport. My mom had no idea I was coming. Mari said, mom I have someone at the door that wants to see you. My mom shook my hand and said: "mucho gusto" poor  thing,  she did not even recognize me because of her bad eye sight. Vane did the same thing. We worked on a scarpbook that I compile together for her. We also went shopping and took several pictures together. Liz had to stay with her family In El Salvaodr as she should but Vane and I made the trip to Miami. It was a time to be together with my two little sisters too. What a fun time we had!
