First off I would like to apologize for taking so long to post here, I will try to post more often now that I am on my second half of my study abroad program. Since we last spoke quite a lot has happened here is a quick bulletin summary.
- Right before we left to Iguazu it was Christians 21st birthday and us and some people from our programs went to dinner, it was all dandy until we paid and left, then suddenly out waiter waves us down and tells us that we were two hundred pesos short, which was a huge lie. Because we counted about 5 times. So we just paid the guy and vowed none of us would return there. Then we went to a bar and had one drink because the next day had to leave for Iguazu.
- We went to one of the new seven natural wonders of the world, Iguazu Falls. One of the best trips ever. It was so amazing and gorgeous. The waterfalls were breathless, I was speechless when I first saw them. Pictures will be posted at the end of this post. (Such an amazing place definitely would recommend)
- Then the day before we went River Parana and that river flows through Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. So we were between these three countries and it was so cool, we could see all of the three countries on a boat and we were about 100 feet away from each country. We were basically countryless for an hour or two. Had a lot of fun on that boat.
- That all happened in a weekend, we flew there which was about a two hour flight, not bad.
- Then we returned that Sunday evening. And began to prepare for midterms.
- We then had school.
- Then on a Friday we went for a whole day to the country Uruguay. It was such a relaxing trip. We saw the worlds largest pencil collection which was interesting… to say the least. Then we went to Colonia del Sacramento, a city in Uruguay. It was such a cute city and was facing the second widest river in the world which is Rio De La Plata. It was amazing, a bit chilly but nice. Relaxing to sit in front of the river and feel the breeze.
- Then we returned that night and the following week began midterms, which was a horrible but also the best week of my life, ONLY because Harlee Keller visited us from the states for her spring break.
- I had a whole itinerary planned, took her to all the tourist locations and Christian and I’s favorite spots for food. One place we really loved is Illegal Burger it is one of the best in the city, In Recoleta I recommend 10/10, they even have veggie burgers! We all went to a Ballet and the Theater Colon one of the best theaters in the world and the ballet was so fancy and nice. Great butts those dancers have!
- That week with Harlee was so much fun and amazing, I was so happy we got to show her around the city. It was interesting because she spoke more French than Spanish here. I hope she had a blast. I love and miss her dearly.
- Lastly we just finished our spring break Christian and I just spent the week recovering from Harlee’s visit.
Those were the main events that has happened in the last couple of weeks here in Argentina, I am having so much fun. I still get thrown off because I am actually here. There was others things that has happened within these weeks but those will be saved for a later date or when I go back to the states. Now I hope this was a good read and I am sorry I took so long. Best wishes, Chao!
P.S. here is a lot of pictures! Enjoy! Also lots of other photos on my facebook!
