The day Vegemite came to 9 de Julio

There are two camps in Australia.  On one side you have the people who love Vegemite and can eat it at any time of the day.  The other camp is for people who think that Vegemite is a good substitute for when you run out of shoe polish.




Talluah's parents brought over some Vegemite and Tim-Tams for the locals to try (the latter will be shared more discerningly than the former).

We met the Argentineans half way by putting the Vegemite on chorri pan, the local bread.  As expected there were mixed responses from one student saying, "I love it.  It tastes like beer and chorizo sausage." - to students and teachers agreeing that it is salty while trying to hold it in their cheek until we had turned around.

The Tim-Tams, for those lucky enough to try some of our small supply agreed that Tim-Tams are indeed a gift from the Greek god of sweet biscuits, Chocola.




Jim and Colleen were treated to a Los Ciebos art show while they were here and we were all impressed by the exposure and quality of the art work done by Depp and his peers.





The children receive inspiration from a graffiti artist in Bs As, a Japanese artist and a Russian abstract artist.
