Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina in South America. It’s a big and busy city with a population of almost 3 million people. And this is the world-famous Buenos Aires obelisk in the centre of the city. Just a few kilometres away from the obelisk is the home of the Menna family. Maria is fourteen years old and she’s in secondary school. She’s in the living room with her sister Sofia because they both really like computer games. They like board games too! Sofia is only nine and she’s at primary school but she’s really good at games! Sofia and Maria’s Mum is called Elena and their Dad is Alvaro. This is their house. There’s a dining room and kitchen and two bedrooms upstairs. This is Maria and Sofia’s bedroom! The family all live together in the centre of Buenos Aires. But their mum, Elena, isn’t from the city. Her parents - Sofia and Maria’s grandfather and grandmother - have got a house an hour away. It’s in a small city called Mercedes, about 100km west of Buenos Aires. It’s a big house with a dining room and a sitting room. It’s in the countryside and it’s got a beautiful garden. It’s nice and quiet here and it’s a great place to sit, eat and spend time as a family!
