This post will be quick, but hopefully the takeaway will be clear: Buenos Aires is AWESOME!! My group arrived in the city Thursday morning, spent Thursday night in a hotel, and traveled all over the city on Friday afternoon. Yesterday (Friday) evening, we moved in with our homestay families. My madre, Mirta, is fantastic. I have my own room, and our apartment has a balcony that overlooks Calle Cabello. I’m located ten minutes (walking) from IDES, where most of my classes take place.
I finally caught up on my sleep and woke up rather late today. I spent the remainder of the morning and most of the afternoon exploring the area, and a friend and I had a chance to go jogging through several parks and gardens in my neighborhood, Palermo. I promise to upload photos of the area, my apartment, and my friends soon!
