I made it! I got into Buenos Aires at about 8:40 local time! The airplane ride was really great and I met an amazing woman named Clarisa. She is a researcher and she lives in an neighborhood close to me with her husband and two small kids. We were able to speak a lot in Spanish during the flight and she gave me tons of great advice about where to travel and tips about the city : ) She also gave me her email and telephone number if I ever need anything!

My luggage arrived on time and we made it through customs and to the ISA people. They dropped my off with my "madre", Grace! She is incredible! Very fashionable and young and so vibrant! Right now I am getting settled in our apartment. I have my own room and attached bathroom. There is a patio right out my door and a very spacious living room with tons of windows! The apartment is beautiful. My roommate, Emily, is from Colorado but her room is on the other side of the apartment.She seems really great, she speaks pretty fluently so that's a bit intimidating but I love sitting back and listening to Grace, her son Gonzalo and Emily speak! I'm sure I will pick it up more and more each day! : )

Grace just left to get food for lunch so I am going to start unpacking but that's the update as of now! Ciao!
