It's the time to be jolly and besides, an update is long overdue. Thanks to all who left comments on my last entry about Argentina and also thanks for all the good wishes for my holiday there.
I am finally back in Holland and slowly going back on Dutch-mode, as my friend Agnes told me the other day!
My two months in Argentina were just wonderful. I spent a lot of time with family and dear ones, receiving their love and care ... and their delicious food as well, as my 5 or 6 kg. overweight can attest to! But oh.... well! It was so much worth it!
Our roadtrip to the north of Argentina was the best trip I've ever taken so far. We had a couple of days of unbearable heat - up to 49°C while we were in San Miguel de Tucumán - but the landscapes and the experience were truly unforgettable! I will be soon showing you photos and sharing with you some of our adventures visiting three Argentinean provinces: Tucumán, Salta and Catamarca.
Also, I will soon be replying to the comments, questions and queries that you were so kind to post on my last blog entry,Imagining Argentina. I read them all while I was still there and I would have liked to have enough time to post new blog entries or to visit other blogs, only that time was scarce and all the holiday fun was waiting ...
Finally, I would like to wish you and your loved ones Peace and Prosperity and I hope you enjoy Christmas holiday how you wish and with whom you wish!

You're back, yey! Can't wait for the online "tour" of Argentina. A Blessed Christmas to you.
Welcome back! It's great to have you back and posting! I'm glad you had such a good time and can't wait to hear more about it. In the meantime, have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
Oh, Aledys! I can't wait to hear all about your wonderful trip 'home'--I'm staying tuned for all the photos you promised!
@Aggie,
Thanks a lot!!
Yes, the heat was unbelievable! But it was not normal for that time of the year, really. There had been a terrible drought throughout the country and the weather was crazy. I've never drank so much water in my entire life! It was truly unbearable! But it was worth the effort for the places are amazing.
Thanks for stopping by!
@Sandra,
Merry Christmas to you, too, my friend! And thanks for visiting my blog!
@buday,

Fijne kerstdagen, Aledys! Wishing you and yours many blessings of the season. :-)
PS Glad you had a good time. I think I'm packing on the kilos here in Texas as well... and I've only been here three days. LOL
Gracias por tu amistad virtual !!!
Te deseo que tengas unas Felices Fiestas y que el Año Nuevo te traiga todo lo bueno que mereces !!!

Nice seeing you back again! We sure did miss you!!! :)
Looking forward to seeing your future posts about the places you visited during your last visit to Argentina. Besito.
Yeah, a colleague of mine has been recently in Brazil and it was 46 in the north zone of Rio. I always think about people in prisons, babies, and the old people... They suffer the most. Well, welcome back to your second home and I wish you nice festivities. 2009 was - somehow - a special year for me.
@JaPRA,
Enjoy your stay in Texas, and eat "lekker" while you can!
Thanks a lot for your wishes and for stopping by!
@Mimí,
Muchas felicidades para tí también y espero que sigamos visitándonos virtualmente en el 2010!
Besos.
@Droomvla,
Thanks!!!!
The photos of my trip are coming soon, so stay tuned ;o)
@Anita,
Yes, I remember my friend from Sao Leopoldo telling me that it was very very hot in RGDS as well!
All the best for 2010!!
