Oops - I let too much time go by...Fede is a great student - getting all A's, basically, impressing all his teachers. He has helped at an Iowa football game with Rotary, shopped at the mall, and gone to Homecoming, with a date - the German exchange student. Poor guy, he could hardly wrap his mind around going to a dance while it was still light out (7pm) and then being home by 11pm - meanwhile, Eleanor was probably just eating supper and about to head out for a night of dancing and partying in Argentina...hmmm...I hated to tell him that this was about what the rest of the year would be like! We had another crazy rainstorm, 6" of water in short order forced the water into the basement (again.) There was Fede, mopping the floor (had never seen a mop before as all floors are washed on hands and knees at his house...) while the rest of us were moving "stuff" and taking sopping wet towels and rugs to the washing machine. (Eleanor's next blog was naturally about a fantastic time she had had that very night...) So, he's officially a part of the family!
He has his new camera purchased here, and is enjoying getting back to his photography. One of his subjects is going to be mailboxes - he was so excited to see that we really have one on a post at the road, just like in the movies! He is playing rugby with a friend from West and other high schools - the big surprise there is: playing with GIRLS! Never in a million years would that happen back home. He hasn't tackled a girl yet, and claims he can't imagine it. We'll see...
