Jorgelina Is Here / Llego Jorgelina

On December 28th, 2007 my friend Jorgelina came to visit all the way from Argentina. Me, Lili, John and her brother Sebastian, who is studing English at the ELC at BYU, went to pick her up at the airport. Her flight was on time but she was nowhere to be found! After waiting for almost an hour, I went to the Delta desk to see what was going on and to see if they could give me some information. The Delta attendant told me that Jorgelina was on a different flight that was to arrive in 10 minutes and so I thanked him and went to wait for Jorgelina. As I finished talking to this attendant and as I'm walking away, Lili says to him, in Spanish: 'Chau, Chau Papa Noel' which in English is 'Bye, Bye Santa Claus'. I started to laugh. I don't think the attendant knew what Lili was saying and besides, we weren't next to him when she said it. Now this attendant was an old man who had white hair and a white beard. And ever since we went on the Polar Express (see entry 'Polar Express') and Lili saw Santa, whenever she sees a man with white hair and a white beard she thinks he is Santa Claus. Anyway, going back to Jorgelina, she finally arrived at around noon. What happened was that she missed her flight in Atlanta and so they had to put her on the next flight coming to Utah. She is staying in my house. I'm so excited to have her here. She is leaving on January 31st, 2008. Here is a picture of her.

El 28 de Diciembre del 2007 mi amiga Jorgelina que es de Argentina vino de visita desde Argentina. Lili, John, Sebastian (el hermano de Jorgelina que esta aca estudiando Ingles en el ELC de BYU), y yo fuimos a buscarla al aeropuerto. El avion en el que ella venia llego pero ella no estaba en ese vuelo. Despues de haber estado esperando por casi 1 hora, fui hasta el escritorio de Delta para ver que paso y ver si me podian dar alguna informacion. El hombre de Delta me dijo que ella venia en otro vuelo y que estaba por llegar en 10 minutos asi que le dije gracias y me fui a esperar por Jorgelina. Cuando termine de hablar me di vuelta para irme y mientras estaba caminando, Lili le dijo al hombre en Español:- Chau, Chau Papa Noel. Me dio tanta risa que me empeze a reir. Por supuesto que el hombre ni se dio cuenta de lo que Lili dijo porque tampoco estabamos cerca de el cuando ella dijo eso. Este hombre tenia pelo blanco y una barba blanca y desde que fuimos al Expreso Polar y Lili vio a Papa Noel, ella se piensa que todos los hombres con pelo blanco y barba blanca son Papa Noel. Volviendo al tema de Jorgelina finalmente llego. Lo que paso es que ella perdio su vuelo en Atlanta entonces la tuvieron que poner en el proximo vuelo que venia para Utah. Ella se va a estar quedando en mi casa. Estoy re contenta de tenerla aca. Ella se vuelve a Argentina el 31 de Enero del 2008. Aca hay una foto de ella.
