Well we finally arrived in Miramar in the middle of the afternoon yesterday, after a longer trip than we had expected.

There was an accident on the highway, but at first we didn’t know that. All we knew was that we were moving v-e-r-y slowly. There were two lanes on our half of the highway, but as only Argentines do, they gradually expanded that to three lanes by everyone moving onto the shoulder. I told Cecilia that if she did that in Canada nobody would let her back in, which she thought very strange!

As we sat on the shoulder, at a stop, we suddenly realized another lane was forming on the right, as people drove on the grass! So of course Cecilia, being Argentine, thought it was a good idea and joined them. I thought the next stage was going to be into the farmer’s field with the cows, but fortunately it didn’t come to that!

Unfortunately, in the end we found it was a double decker bus that had gone off the road, but there was no sign of any passengers so we think they all got off.

Anway, Cecilia’s family were waiting for us and we had a long-awaited lunch. The house we have is great, and personally I think it’s great fun being in a house with ten people! We all went out to explore a little last night, and this morning we went to the beach. Venetia did a lovely video of the ocean, which I will try to upload via YouTube and post here.

Apparently tonight we are all going to watch the Oscars. I’m having fun in Miramar!
