Today was “one of those days”. From the get go, the moment you open your eyes you feel that nothing is going to have the ease of forward momentum, and its confirmed when your coffee doesn’t provide its usual awaking from the dead!
Yesterday I had my first job interview an English institute before I left with Juan on an overnight bus to Santa Fe, (no work at the moment,fingers crossed something pops up).
Today I am surrounded by Juan's beautiful family… and this is when I cracked, maybe it was the relief of the familiar of Juan (a slice of NZ in Argentina) or being surrounded by a loving family, and/or the safety of a warm embrace… but I reverted back into a little girl and the tears came flowing.

I knew this day was going to come, when finally I step down from the heights of the puffy white clouds of my travelling wonder world and ground my feet firmly on the harsh reality of my predicament. The month of march is approaching and NZ is calling, my bro’s 2nd wedding, my nanas 90th, and my best friend is home for a month… all in March!
I miss my family, I miss my friends, I have no money, I have no job, I don’t know my future… but worst of all I don’t speak Spanish “Its not you its me!” and I am not able to contribute to conversations and I am sick of the sound of my own thoughts as I sit silently amongst company of these fantastically loquacious Argentines…
I want to be you! – you, with your Spanish speaking and meat eating and Fernet drinking!
I need to stick at this! I MUST!! Miss Kendra Argentina 2011
But for now until the tears dry, I am very lucky to be amongst a family of highly intelligent, beautiful, kind ENGLISH speaking Molfinos!
