Festive Season

Asado

I am back again after all these weeks of apparently endless celebrations. Although it had not even been celebrations that fierce this year. Christmas we spent in the house with the kids, having a lovely game stew I had cooked for the whole family. After everybody got his presents (which takes some time with so many kids) Inès soon fell asleep because she had worked a lot these days preparing for all the special menus they had served on the holidays. I followed her a little later also still tired from all the activities with Bernd the weeks before. So before midnight we had been sleeping already. On New Years Eve it was me who did not resist that long because I had got a bad cold just the day before. I went to an asado in a friends house and to watch the big fireworks at midnight I went to the restaurant where Inès was working. All the kids had been there as well and we drank sparkling wine and a few drinks but at 2 o'clock I already had to give up and we went home. For my birthday I felt better and killed the last germs inside my body quite succesfully with lots of alcohol. At least on that day I just had to party. I had been the last one for some time. The following week we had real summer with temperatures above 30 degrees C but unfortunately no tourists in town. At least those who had been here did not do rafting. The following week it rained constantly and temperature dropped almost 20 degrees. Tourists decided to do rafting now despite the bad weather conditions but unfortunately I had got a bad influenza that forced me to stay in bed with fever of more than 38 degrees for four days.

For some reasons once more Chilean people turned out to be totally irresponsible and not trustworthy which gets on my nerves and apart from that costed me some money as well which I do not really have at the moment. So right now I am quite depressed and frustrated and do not really know how to go on after the season.

Well at least I am finally totally healthy again, summer came back and as it seems people are willing to do outdoor activities as well. So I hope for some busy weeks to come that I will not find time to annoy myself to much and earn some money as well.

Hopefully my next comments will be a little more positive than this one......
