Surprises

Well, I have witnessed a great many surprises since I have moved to Uruguay. I cannot count how many.
Just when I didn't think I would see something that would really surprise me, bam.  I walked into the office supply store this afternoon to buy an envelope.  When I walked in the door there was an animated Santa Claus (Papa Noel) and he was singing, "The Yellow Rose of Texas".  It made me laugh inside because I didn't want to laugh publicly because I don't want to appear any stranger to the people here than I already do.  I asked the girl behind the counter about it but she didn't have a clue as to what I was talking about.
I wanted to make sure I wrote this down before I forgot about it.  I seriously doubt I will ever forget about this.
