Hello from Argentina! I am Arturo Faustino Palmeiro but to my friends and family, I am referred to as Chacho. I have blond hair and blue eyes, but my hair is going grey. Maybe it’s fatherhood, old age, or a combination of both.

I live in a large two-storey house in rural Argentina with my wife, Fatima Vitoria and our four daughters, Zara Joana, Leonor Adelina, Elisabete Alexandra and Isadora Silvia. Fatima is an English teacher at a local school and has successfully taught all of our daughters how to speak English without too much of an accent. Throughout our eighteen years of marriage, Fatima still has those forest green eyes and black hair that I loved about her and still do to this day. Her personality is very outgoing, which has made her a hit at the local school.

As for me, I’m a police officer, which I enjoy a lot. Being quite emotional, it can be hard at times to have to deal with people that are going through difficult situations, but I seem to get through it all okay. It’s also helpful because I can alert the children (who are all entering their teens) to the fact that they need to assert themselves when they’re out at night. That said, I rarely need to do this because they are all so quiet and happy. A father’s dream.

It may interest you to know that Zara, Leonor and Elisabete are fourteen year old triplets and Isadora is on her own (well not really, I didn’t know how else to phrase this). Zara and Leonor have dirty brown hair whereas Elisabete’s is more of a light brown and Isadora’s is black. All of them have green eyes and look more like me than Fatima. Zara and Leonor take piano lessons frequently whereas Elisabete and Zara have taken to horse-riding, a pastime that has been in our family for many years.
