For those of you who didnt realize it yet, I am still in Argentina. The program is over, and all I have been doing is having the time of my life. Last week, my Brother Matt came to visit me. He decided spur of the moment... imagine that coming from my family. Everybody knows we love to plan ahead hahaha.
He arrived Wednesday, and My host brother, sister, and mom all came with me to find him at the airport. We picked him up and got settled in. We had one busy week and hopefully fun. I know I bored the heck out of him a few times as part of the Argentina life is waiting or walking (ALOT).
Wednesday night we went to one of my favorite mexican restaurants here called Mariache. After that we went to my favorite bar Contender where I made him try Fernet and Coke. The description.... tastes like medicine hahaha. We hung out there with one of my tutors Matias.
The rest of the week is a blur for me. We slept in usually, and then went out to eat or walk or something. We spent a lot of time with the one gringo still here. Ashley the really pretty blonde I always hang out with. We spent many hours downtown and touring the city. We even went three times to see this water fountain light show, which never happened. We also took a trip to a nearby city to swim in the river and enjoy the sun. We ate at almost all my favorite restaurants, but could not eat at all of them due to times they were open and location.
Almost everyday we enjoyed ice cream. Thats right ice cream in the heat during December. I made Matt try all my favorite foods here too. Empanadas, dulce de leche, lomitos, panchos, and of course choripanes.
On Sunday, we didnt intend to but ended up walking four hours from my house all the way to downtown. (YES, IT CAN BE DONE). We never want to do that again though. Monday we went out looking for futbol tickets. It was a long and interesting journey, but we eventually found the tiny boleteria in the middle of a field where we bought the tickets. Then we even managed to find the field too. The game was amazing. We ate Choripan because thats like peanuts and crackerjacks at the baseball game. The Talleres were the home team and they won 3 to nothing. There was nothing more fun than jumping up and down yelling GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!
Anyway, I took him to a friends apartment, to a club for my friends birthday party, we enjoyed mates at my school, and even made it to an asado. I hope he enjoyed every minute of it.
It was fun to see him instantly become friends with my friends. He left on Wednesday on the same flight as my friend yankee Ashley and two of my friends from here Flor and Nati. From the pictures, it looks like he had a good time on the flight with them.
Well, I have to run, but I will write more about my experience soon.
