South American Update

Hey everybody,

Classes have been pretty busy these past few weeks. I've taken about half of my midterms, but still have some more left. However, most of my subjects have been pretty interesting. Learning about Argentine Economics has been an eye-opening experience. 

Last Saturday, I hung out with my friend who lives in the city, Patricio. He's in my class of Economic History at UCA. We had a lunch of burgers and licuados - which are the Argentine version of smoothies- and then played ping pong and tennis. It was a lot of fun and a great way to relax and gain a new perspective of the city.

On Sunday I headed down to the fair in Recoleta, which is where artisans have tons of booths lining the two busiest streets in that part of the city. It's really popular with most portenos on Sundays and I enjoyed seeing all of the different types of art produced by the citizens of Buenos Aires.

Tomorrow I'm planning on doing some sight-seeing in the city and should be taking a lot of pictures too!
