Miscellaneous photos

Here are some odds and ends of photos which I’ve gathered from here there and everywhere.  Mainly from when Andrew and Janelle were with us…

Many Sundays Aldo and Paulina Larrousse take us back from the meeting in their van.  These are photos of us travelling.

You know the old saying…never trust a skinny cook!! (sorry Janelle, but we all know your chocolate log was a roaring success).  Here we were celebrating the fact that there was no baking paper and the sponge came out no problem.

Four kiwis…Janelle’s attempting to NOT look like what you are all thinking looking at the photo!!!

This is what Glew looks like.  We were walking to Betty’s.

After the study at Betty’s.  Pictured are Nelida the blind lady, beside her is Betty’s estranged husband Eduardo (the drinker).  He lives next door, and this year has been attending the meetings quite regularly (in varying states of inebriation, but hey…at least he comes!).  Behind them standing are Betty and their son Jeremias.

Eating again…this time at the Sheraton!  Once a month a man called Rob Spencer who is a pilot with United, comes to Buenos Aires.  We usually meet up with him and have  a meal.  Incidentally he used to fly to NZ years ago, and knows a few from Auckland.

…and about to eat at Elizabeth and Gustavo’s (she is German’s sister and they live next door).

Janelle and I behind the heart at the city airport the day they went up to the Falls. (note the River Plate in the backdrop).

Cool colours in the port.  The boats colours mean something…ie the red ones fish in shallow waters, the orange ones further out, and the yellow ones even deeper or something like that!
