Parque San Martín

This is the San Martín Park which is just a few blocks from our home.
Hermana Lindahl and I like to take walks here as we practice speaking in Spanish. People watching provides lots of conversation in Spanish as well as entertainment. The park is always full of people no matter what time of day. They constantly have activities going on and events. Once when we walked by we heard extremely loud music and saw about 100 women doing aerobics in the street!
The streets here are lined with trees and are just beginning to bloom. Soon the trees will be green and all the flowers in blossom.

Fun Fact
f
or my 6th grade friends
who are following my blog:

Did you know that in Argentina the season are switched? While you are in fall and the leaves are turning red, I am in Spring and the flowers are just blossoming. That means that the people are in shorts and tee-shirts sweating for Christmas and New Years while you are buried in scarfs and gloves! If you could choose, which would you prefer?

In the Pacific ocean there is a small island called samoa or fa,a samoa. There they eat grubs and bats and even raw clams. The one I am most interested in is then grinded raw sea cucomber!

You know how you asked if we would prefer here or there, well I would rather here because you get hot chocolate and I have been waiting for hot chocolate for a long time.

If I could chose the season I would like to live in,then I would like the summer heat of Argentina, then the ice cold wind in Utah.
