Sorry about the Interuption

Ok. Well I have been in Argentina for 18 days now. I speak an excellent "Spanish Menu" and can normally get by with the bits and pieces of Spanish that I remember...I so have to take more Spanish classes. The work is going well and I no longer feel like I am going to die each day we go to an outcrop (exposure of rocks). In the beginning I thought I was carrying a hippopotamus on my shoulders while hiking...now it just feels like me (which can be more then enough some days). The units I am looking at show potential and today my supervisors came out and looked at them too. Lots of information for me to process...all good. I had the general idea of what was going on correct but now we are fine tuning it. It is beautiful here! I miss my family desperately but I just deal with it day to day. Really all I can do...don't you think. I have had two phone calls from my hubby and one from my folks...all appreciated. It is nice to know i haven't been forgotten yet. I haven't done any tourist things as this isn't the point of this trip. I am hoping to take my field assistant Kendra (who arrives tomorrow morning) to the glacier before we go to Buenos Aires on the 15th of April. I have been communicating with Petrocanada while in Argentina (they thought Africa on vacation) on booking my and Dinara's flights from Saskatoon to Calgary on the 28th of April. They asked some dumb questions but oh well. Not as organized as Imperial (strikes against them already). Well what else?? I think I have lost some weight...my pants are too big now. Not that I am complaining...I needed a little lightening of my load. I can see ab muscles again..Yipee! I will attach some photos now if it doesn't take too long...the internet connection in the apartment is good but no where as good as in Canada. Miss you all.
