Hey people. Sorry i am so bad at blogging. I just want to apologize again. But it gets kind of boring writing about the same old stuff. Before my class at 4 I spent the whole morning with my host mom and her oldest son's german girlfriend, Anna. We had breakfast (my favorite granola ever, that I found out this morning has hydrogenated oil as its first ingredient, sucks). anyway, first, i have to say- ITS SPRING. and it ROCKS. its gorgeous and finally warm. so we walked about 8-9 blocks to the MALBA, the modern art museum. it was so amazing, i was so inspired and i loved almost all of the art I saw. I've been to the Museo de Bellas Artes, which is more classic, famous Latin American art, which I liked, but not nearly as much. We walked around the MALBA for a while, although its not very big, so we didn't need a ton of time. We had coffee afterwards and continued walking around. We walked around Palermo Chico (my host mom called it that..) and saw the most amazing houses and apartments I have ever seen in the city. We passed by a ton of embassies, all of which were beautiful. i was so happy all day- it was so nice out, i was speaking spanish, it was just adorable. i really loved it and i hope to spend more time with my host mom!!
what else...I didn't go out this week, although on Monday I went to this thing called La Bomba del Tiempo, which is a drum show every Monday night in Palermo- it was really cool. I went with orly and we just kinda swayed and danced to the music. next time i will know to bring a 40 of quilmes (argentin beer) to chug in the line, like everyone else. haha. today is thursday again, finallyyy!! I think i am going to cordoba this weekend, but I'm not sure. I love traveling, but at the same time I don't want to miss out on any time in BA, and its so hard to be away all weekend. Besides the 20 hour bus rides are getting to be a little much. Luckily our destination, Córdoba, is only 9 or 10 hours away. I think I'm just going with my girl friend Alba. She also goes to penn and we get along really well.
Ah i didnt write about the amazing night in Olivos!!! Olivos is in la provincia, a little bit outside of the city. basically we went to this middle eastern food place (which i didnt love) called Bereber with a big group of people and then went to Belgrano to Charley's friend Enzo's apartment. Enzo & his friends go to UCA and they are really good dancers. we listened to great american music like Michael Jackson (hence the Thriller pictures on facebook). we got super crazy, drank some smirnoff, JUST LIKE COLLEGE, ONLY BETTER - IN ARGENTINA (shout out to Bring it On for that one). we danced and then headed off to a club called Sunset in Olivos like 18912739 miles away. Actually like 15 mins, whatever. we had a sweet night there- great music, great dancing. private concert? not really sure.
tonight we are having a little going away party for Anna - mexican food again!!! and I am in charge of making the guacamole. super pumped. I have to go get ready for that and read a dictionary so I can prepare some phrases to say at dinner. hahaa. nootttt kidding.
download the song "Perdonáme" by La Factoria immediately. Its super popular here and I love it. Also, anyone watch lipstick jungle? kirby may or may not be the hottest person ever.
love & miss everyone! if you need to escape winter in the states, come visit me!!! xx
