Happy Fathers' Day to all you men, whether you have been a father for 10 years or 10 months, whether you know for sure if you are the father or not, this is your day, Happy Fathers' Day!
Fathers Day (June 15th)
Across the Andes on our 1st Visa Trip!
Angela and I took off for our first Visa trip and due to Gabe's visit, it lasted no more than 36 hours. It was a quick hop to Mendoza, spend the night and be back late afternoon the next day.
So the best thing we got to really enjoy was the Andes and ALL THAT SNOW!!! Soooooo cold!!!
Here are some photos right at the border and as you can see we were far more distracted with the snow then getting our papers checked...heh!
A snap shot of Angie running around the border because they didn't grant her entrance! - Joke. She was just trying to get away with standing being that it was so slippery and wet.
Prosaic snow shot...
MEGA SNOW BALL
Being that it was Angie's first time on the snow, I wanted to give her a warm (cold) welcome to it, by throwing the biggest snow ball around. Fortunately, she caught me and ruined the plan.
"It's so cold!!!" Angela's ever first contact with snow! I'm not sure she liked it too much though...
It was a great trip nonetheless and us girls had lots of fun. We met new people and got to see old friends that I hadn't seen in years! Too bad it was so short. Looking forward to the next trip!
Happy Birthday to ME
So to celebrate my birthday we took two days off and went to the Giants Stadium in New Jersey to watch the game of Argentina vs USA.
The loitering area... Dying of hunger smelling everyones asados
Waiting for the gates to open

"Vamos a las Putas"
MC: "USA vs Argentina the number one ranked team in the world, according to Fifa"
A little going away celebration...
Last night, for Pablo's last night in Chile, Pablo, Gabe (Mima's bf), Mima and Vi met up for dinner at Los Buenos Muchachos. There were presentations going on as you ate, and every once in a while, they'd pick people out to dance with them. Mima and I got to see the traditional Chilean dance "Cueca" and some other ones as well.
But we all have to agree that the best part of it all was when the dancing from "Isla de Pascua" (Easter Island) began and one of the dancers came and dragged Pablo out onto the stage. We all know Pablo's lovely dance and it was hilarious to see him try to keep up with it while the girls shook their booties at him.
Here's for a closer shot at his expression! Hilarious & Unforgettable!----We will miss you Pablo! (hope you have a comfortable and safe trip)
HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY TINA!!!
Wonderful eh? Now you can legally buy and drink alcohol in the US and A. Wishing you the best!! I hope you had an awesome day today! Love and miss you tons
Tennis
So our soccer stars got into a new sport.
We have tennis rackets in the back of the car, and have stopped to play on different fields numerous times. Here are two pictures of a mini - tournament.
Danny el Mago
Nata the Great
FOOOD Glorious FOOOD
The other day I made Lasagna for... us... And it was delish, if I may say so myself.
Comments from little Karl:
Before: ... Looks like vomit!
After: This is delicious!!!
Memorial Day
Yesterday was Memorial Day, and here is a recent picture that was taken in a Civil War Memorial that we took Nata to.
Bedouin in America

Washington
Ok so I haven't put all of the photos from the camera on the computer yet, we have some for Memorial Day, which is today, to show you, but you will have to wait for that one... And while you wait I will post some pictures from a week ago when we went out with Mirtha a week ago.
Nata got a Turkish water pipe. Too bad it was a horrid flavor in my opinion.
Andrew tasting the tea/perfume favored Jasmine
All of us except for Turtle, who played photographer. Next time I'll make sure he's in one of the pictures.
Zaldi Te Quiero !!!
Zaldi me encanta cuando te excitas con tu equipo, pero me entristece cuando sufres por la falta de victoria de river. Mi consejo como amigo es el siguiente, volved con papa!! te acojemos devuelta como el hijo prodigo que sos..
Congratulations Angieeeeee!!!!
After a lot of research, a lot of head-breaking moments and doubts (on her part)...Angela Basurto surprised us all with wonderfully home-made curtains, which now grace our living room and make it so much cozier.
Just a big warm thank you for your efforts, time and talents. You've got it in ya!!! Congrats, darling!!!
My personal pet
My favorite little Turtle (aka. Leche or Danny), is now my slave.
Yes, you read that right, my slave.
He bet that his team would win the soccer game they had today, but even though it really looked that way (they were ahead by two goals the entire game), sadly, as he is not on the field the entire game, they have to let other people play as well as per game rules, and at the very end lost by one goal. He bet his life. Which is now mine.
Anyone want to marry him? Of course you have to pay me though.
Nicole, I'll give you a good price ;)
Ok, so supposedly it didn't count because they played in the wrong field and one of the players was missing, but still....
Baile Americano
Creen que ver a una pareja bailar tango es lindo,,,,,,, esperen a ver como hacemos bailar a Estados Unidos. Cuando regresemos , solo les vamos a traer medallas y copas de oro!!!
Do you miss me?
Just made some rich dark chocolate cake, topped with chocolate frosting and dulce de leche.
Uber delish!!
Bet you "Wish you were here!"
Men & Soccer...and then of course, Nata!
Just another lovely evening at Parque Arauco watching the boys as they merrily play by. (such a gay sentence...the boys are gonna kill me)
Jasper/Freddie here seems a bit confused or bored. Apparently the other team sucked so bad that Juna had nothing better to do other than stand around looking pretty, hoping they'd have a chance at arriving to the goal so he could have some action. And so it was, and the other sucky team did score goal 5 minutes after this shot.
Here we see a snapshot of Nata and his usual soccer rituals. Juanma seems to be running for his life while his brother is caught helpless?
Nata, Danny and other dirty miscreants I need not name. I have to say, that afternoon watching the boys play was pretty hilarious. Nata always gets overly excited when he's two meters away from making a goal and tends to put exaggeratedly too much emphasis on his kicks or head throws and usually misses it by sending the ball waaaaay over the goal. He does tend to be the most eccentric person in the field (and out?). We love you, G-d bless you Nata!! haha
To be a mother...
Sam and Danny, our home wants to congratulate you for bringing into this world one more life, one more heart. May G-d bless your family and bring nothing but sheer joy to the lives of you three.
Sam, I can't forget to mention what a beautiful baby girl you have, next time she comes to visit we'll kidnap her. hehehe. ---Please still come visit??
A mother's love determines how we love ourselves and others.
There is no sky we'll ever see not lit by that first love.
Stripped of love, the universe would drive us mad with pain;
But we are born into a world that greets our cries with joy.
Sam, congratulations on fulfilling women's highest calling, you are a mother!
