Province (State) of Cordoba

I have been staying since my arrival in Argentina with my Dad´s one & only brother Luis, called always by me as Tio Yiyi...although now his 2 beautiful grandkids call him Yiyo :)-

My "tio" together with his wife of 43 years, Tia Lidia operate a year-round vacation retreat in the Sierras de Cordoba.

Their website is: http://www.bosquencantado.com.ar/

I´m in cabin #1 called CEDRO...closest to their home-

Their city is named ICHU CRUZ, population 800. Only the main road into the city is paved! But they do have all modern necessities even wi-fi although my laptop is not liking it, so I´m at the mercy of using my uncles laptop and it´s spanish keyboard. Yes, it is different than the English version, very similar but the differences are enough to slow me down :)

Here are some of the different keys used in a Spanish keyboard:

ñÑ,...as in Niña (girl) or pequeño (small)

¿ in Spanish you put a question mark at the beginning and end of a sentence...¿really? Yes!

¨ don´t know how this one is used

{ } in parenthesis

[ ] not sure when these are used either

...you get the idea..the only extra letter in our alphabet is the Ñ..ñ

FYI...I hope to put more pictures in the blog but I'm having some technical difficulties

Those that know me shouldn´t be too surprised but then again...you must be impressed I have gotten this far ;)

Back to the family now, so easy to get sidetrack...Their 2 sons are Marcelo and Adrian.

My cousins operate a "kiosko" in the heart of a larger city named CARLOS PAZ. Marcelo is married with Soledad and they have 2 of the cutest kids ever...Rocio (name means Dew) she just turned 9 and Giuliano (William in Italian)..Guili for short ..pronounced (Juli) ---I know, when he visits us in the states some changes might be necesary :)

Adrian is also married. His wife is Natasha.

I have been spoiled to no end...not only do they not let me buy anything, I can´t do anything-and they all take time from their busy scheduled to show me their cities and try their favorite restaurants. Oh..I do think I made the right decision to come visit haha---
