Another fun day in the city!

Met up with some girls at the university yesterday and the group quickly grew to 7 or so : )) We left the U with not much of a plan and ended up in the Palermo neighborhood and ate at a cute little cafe. (surprise there?  : )) The great thing about lunches here is that one empanada is just a little smaller than a hot pocket and only costs 4 pesos and is enough to fill you up! 1 dollar for lunch is pretty sweet! : )) We walked through a botanical garden, which was incredible and then took the subte to the Recoleta neighborhood to visit the Recoleta cemetery. I asked for directions about 3 times and we walked about 100 blocks (more like 20) and finally got there!

This week is the anniversary of the death of Eva Peron, "Evita". She was a hero in Argentina and she is buried in the cemetery. There were tons of flowers by her family tomb, it was a very beautiful. Ther cemetery is an incredible site to see. There are all different kinds of tombs with different designs and when you look inside you can see that some are very well cared for and others seem a bit forgotten... It is a completely foreign place to me but strangely beautiful and peaceful.

We had our tango and salsa lessons last night too! AHHHH. It was so much fun and sooo hilarious. We learned the very, very basic steps of the tango and it took the entire hour for me to figure out 2 combinations! I have a new found respect for those people on Dancing With The Stars, because i know that I have said, "Psssh, I could do that...." Well come to find out, its ALOT harder than it looks! : )) We also danced the salsa and that was a blast as well! I danced with a kid from Texas and neither of us knew what was going on so we just started making things up and spinning and such.... not exactly traditional but it was fun : )))

Another delicious dinner was served by Grace last night, it was pretty much a quiche and very tasty! From what we have heard from other students our food has been top notch superb in comparison, so I once again feel so very lucky and blessed : ) It has made this a true home away from home.

I think Becca, Emma and I are going to go "mate" in a park, and I will get to try out my new gourd! Hopefully it works! At 2 I my meeting with my advisor about how the test went and then I will sign up for classes, YIPPEE!!

Hope all is well in your lives,so thankful that I have incredible people like you in my life!
