Quilmes - home to the Salvation Army children´s home and the biggest brewery in South America



Hopefully this picture has worked and you´re seeing a pretty picture of some beer bottles with Quilmes written on them - if not google ´Quilmes cerveza´ and you will!

This is only going to be a quick post, (I´m mainly doing this for you Sophie to say that my blog is a lot better than Greys Anatomy!)and will properly update when I can charge my camera battery (note to anyone travelling South America don´t be so stupid as to forget to take an adaptor)in a week.

My volunteering at the Salvation Army Children´s home is going well - the officers working there are really lovely, and there is another volunteer who is German and speaks English which is a huge relief! My spanish skills have really been tested (and mostly failed) as noone else speaks english and I´ve had to rely a lot on the international language of....pointing and exaggerated gestures! No I find that I understand a lot of what they´re saying and can pretty much follow a conversation, but am so bad at communicating what I want to say!

Umm meant to write more but got carried away looking for the beer picture and now got to go - sorry! more soon x

Greys Anatomy 1 - 1 Amys South American Adventures
Kinda short Amylou!! and Greys anatomy has the picture thing going for them!! (i did google the beer as advised ... but it was just beer ...) did make me laugh though as when i read the title of your blog i had an image of the children from the childrens home working in the brewery, work house style. Sallys blog was better - had the laughs, and the more serious emotional bits .... only fell down at the lack of photographic evidence .... all in all 2:1's all round!!!

A shame that the picture didn't show up properly, not sure I'll bother googling it after reading Sophie's comment! And I agree with the fact that it does sound like the Salvation Army are running a brewery! Cuidate y besos guapa!
