I'm in Argentina. Buenos Aires at the moment! Alex and I have escaped the snow and swapped goose bumps for heat stroke this Christmas.

While my Winnipeg family is shivering in -40 (Celsius) right now, Alex's family comes from Argentina and we're here to visit them, get ill advised tans, and explore. We arrived on Saturday, slept the whole day and night and have spent the last two days...

It seems people like the posing wall and so lately we've actually gotten a few freebies to try vs. pulling from our own tiny wardrobes. And by tiny, I really mean tiny. My wee closet is pie shaped (who designed that??) with one bar for hangers and one shelf for sweaters. Do you feel sorry for me?
