First full day in Argentina! Woke up earlier than I wanted
to because I’m still not used to the time change. We had breakfast at the hotel
and then all met in the lobby before walking to our classroom. Our classroom is
in a school for architecture, and the building is very interesting and modern
looking. Our country coordinator, who seems awesome, gave us a lecture about
safety, transportation, and other intro-y stuff about the city. Then we had the
whole afternoon off to explore on our own. We walked around, got lunch, ate in
a park, and walked around again. This city is insanely beautiful. It looks like
a European city (from what my friends tell me…the only European thing I have
ever seen is the Madrid airport).
At 6pm we all met back at the hotel with our stuff so that
we could meet our host families. I am rooming with BriAnne (who will be called
B in the rest of my blogs), which is super exciting. She is fluent in Spanish
and spent last semester in Spain, so hopefully my Spanish will improve by the
end of the month. Our host mom, Marta, is adorable. She is an older woman who
doesn’t speak any English, and lives alone but has family in the area. We
talked the whole cab ride home. For dinner, her son came over and we got into
some deep conversations about how our trip is going, how our families were in
other places, etc. All in Spainsh. It was amazing. So excited for this
country!!
