Semana Dos En Buenos Aires!

What an adventure this has been so far! We have had yet another amazing week here in BA, as time here has been filled with memorable experiences (and really good food). Last Sunday we ventured away from from the tall buildings and restless traffic into the heart of La Boca. The colorful buildings were mesmerizing and the streets were packed with tango dancers, artists, and street performers, eager to welcome us... and earn a few pesos. It was delightful to see the sense of pride that the Argentines possess for their country. All but four of us are currently enjoying the lush atmosphere of Iguazu Falls, which will be, unquestionably, a life-altering experience. I have chosen to stay behind because I have grown attached to my "Argentina Family", and wish to spend as much time with them as possible, while completely immersing myself in the Spanish language. Looking forward to another fantastic week! Below are a few pictures of La Boca. I am also including a photo of myself with my Argentina-siblings. It is amazing how quickly my Spanish is improving, and I think the other students could say the same.

Ciao! Suerte!
