Hi!After uni Rachel and I went to the Botanical Garden and the Evita Museum in Palermo. Although the Botanical Garden is full of cats it was still quite nice to walk around - won't be taking Mam there though! Think I have more chance of her visiting the Zoo than visiting a park full of cats! The Evita Museum was quite good - even though it was very one sided! Gary and his friends held an Asado at the hostel this evening. An asado is a huge BBQ where an obscen...

They're both doing teaching placements. Despite their jetlag we dragged them out...

Hi!Emma returned from Iguazu today and very kindly cooked for all of us! It was the Maggies' last night - two American girls we got on well with. We just had a laugh at the hostel tonight playing cards, drinking lager etc! Yes that's right I've got into drinking lager! It's really light over here so it goes down very easily...probably too easily!Lucy.x
