Día 19: Ready for the weekend!

Although I love it here in Buenos Aires and don't want the time to keep flying by, I cannot wait for this weekend! After class today, we had an orientation meeting in the ISA office to go the details of our weekend excursion: Iguazú Falls! Iguazú Falls consists of a giant span of waterfalls in Northern Argentina, right on the border of Brazil. We will be leaving early Friday morning (5:30 am!) and staying until late Sunday night. I'm so excited! This is the excursion that we have all been waiting for!

Can't wait to spend the weekend here! :)


Other than being pumped for this weekend, today was a pretty relaxed day. Tamara, Freddy and Cecilia's daughter, joined us again for dinner tonight. Tamara talks really fast, so the conversation was a little hard to follow, for the most part, I was able to comprehend it. Hooray! For the meal we had tarta de pollo; it's like a piece of pie, but made with chicken on the inside. Tartas are very Argentinian; they are everywhere and come in  a variety of flavors like spinach, ham and cheese, tomato, olive...etc. We also had torilla as a side with dinner, which was like the Spanish-version of a tortilla: a thick omelet of egg and potato. Yummy yummy! :)
