Happy Argentine Independence Day!

PUERTO IGUAZU, Argentina --- Today, Argentina celebrates its independence from Spain, and we celebrate our liberation from the Andesmar bus from Tucumán after 24 hours aboard. The trip ran four hours longer than planned, and as the sunrise illuminated a road stretching endlessly into the horizon, the final hour seemed longer than the rest. We watched four movies and played bingo yesterday, which helped pass the time as we drove past sugarcane and wheat fields. And even though an electrical problem limited our beverage choices, we did have 7-Up and two meals. Next time, we reserve the first-class seats early. Actually, next time, we go to the airport instead.

And now here´s Will with his reviews of the movie selections:

1. The Bucket List (I give this a C-. Great actors, but where was the writing?)
2. Shattered (I give this pig a D. Does anybody remember Pierce Brosnan as Remington Steale? That´s when the man could act.)
3. I Am Legend (I give this a C+. Not half as bad as I expected for a sci-fi film.)
4. The Legend of Bagger Vance (I´m so glad dinner was served during this disaster. Why did you make this film Robert Redford? I give a D-. However, they served some very tasty cookies on the bus, which made me feel a little better.)

Hola queridos amigos! Me alegra enormemente ver que se la estan pasando estupendamente en su viaje! Mil gracias por enviarnos las fotos- estan lindisimas!

En cuanto a su espanol- me alegra mucho que esten aprendiendo tanto. Cuando regresen, espero que podamos debatir sobre el surrealismo magico de Garcia Marquez, entre muchas otras cosas!

Sobre la frase de hoy--"Yo he recordado comprar mi camisa," aunque gramaticalmente correcta, en general, uno diria "Me acorde de comprar una (o "mi") camisa." De todas maneras, les doy una A.
;-)

perdon, quise decir, realismo magico. Estaba distraida pensando en el "hula hoop!" De cualquier forma, preparense!
