Friday Jan 4th, went to class, where caroline and I played guess who in spanish soooo fun. Then went back to Belgrano to do some laundry. Then went back to the resident apartments and had dinner with Dudley, Ashlan, and Kim (the people I went with to Uraguay). Then to bed because we had to wake up at 6 am for our ferry ride to Uraguay. We took to subte to the ferry station and got our passports stamped!!! Then onto our first ferry ride, a luxury ferry that had plane like that fold back. The ferry was two stories and had a resturant, so cool. We landed in Uraguay has an hour later. We walked to the river (20 blocks) and all got sunburnt. The river and Uraguay are very beautiful, it actually has grass and lots of historic buildings, beautiful streets and cafes. It was a very European place. After the beach we had lunch at a pizza place. I had a sandwich with probably a pound of cheese, no joke... But I took it off too much. Then, we walked to through the historic streets and decided to rest our legs at a cafe. I sat next to a friendly dog and had tea. Then, we walked more throughout the town and meet some women from Boston and Minnesota. Super nice. Then back to the ferry for a 3 hour ride back (the slow ferry) and reached Buenos aires around 11:30 pm. Then back to the residence, so tried. Went right to the shower, then ate a peanuter butter sandwich and a peach with some crackers (good thinking to Kim and Ashlan for bring Peanut Butter sandwich , Argentina only has it in some remote stores!) Then to bed, finally a bed to sleep in!!
Sunday Jan 6th, woke up and vegged. Then went to the store and got breakfast. After making lunch, I talked to a Argentinan guy named pablo about the economy and its crash and how it has impacted there society, but he feels that its just second nature now. After lunch then went to the subte and traveled to plaza italia and walked with the gang (Dudley, Kim and Ashlen) around the beautiful park. So many families out and people selling calling out *Helando* *ice cream* Argentina and really family oriented. I really like that about Argentina, family is always first
. Then walked to Plaza Serrano, and met up with 3 girls in the residence, Caroline, pauline and lauren, walked around and saw a lot of hand crafts. So far I really love plaza Serrano the best, so beautiful and more affulent. Then went to a cafe and hand drinks, then to the bus to go back, where I met 2 people from Isarel and an nice Argentinan lady with a really cute baby. She spoke great English. Then to the market to get dinner. Made dinner and had a great time with new girls in the house, Sarah, Krista, and some others. Now writing and staying the night again at the residence, to tried to go back to Belgrano, plus the residence is close to school. Tomorrow, I am going with Sarah, Jared, and Krista to buy tickets for Iguaza Waterfalls so excited we will be leaving Thurs and getting their fri, sat and coming back sun. We are staying in a Hostel and doing lots of hiking and activities. I am meeting so many new, amazing people. I am really enjoying my time. What an experience I am having. I will let everyone know about my experience soon. Love to all car
