Feliz Navidad

Seasons Greetings to all!!

I am writing this from Corrientes in Northwest Argentina, where we will be spending Christmas with Marcela's family. But before that we are off on a road trip (8 people, 2 cars, 700kms), leaving first thing tomorrow morning, to the famous Iguazu waterfalls on the border with Brazil.

It's 35 deg here and meant to be hotter and steamier in Iguazu!!

More on that when I return, but here's some random pics from my camera over the past few weeks.

This is from the Police concert at River Plate soccer stadium with about 70,000 people. It was a good experience being amongst the enthusiastic crowd who loved singing at the tops of their voices (in their funny accent) and jumping up and down. If you squint a lot you might even be able to make out the band, if not there are big screens there.

The only way to escape the heat in Corrientes - a swim in the local pool and a litre of ice cold beer. Marcela, Bjorn (from Denmark visiting Marcela with his parents for 2 weeks), and Manuel, Marcela's brother.

Here's a dodgy video from my camera at the Police concert - hope it gives you an idea of the jumping and singing going on in the crowd!!
