Exploration

   After a great first night of sleep (after a sleepless 30 hours of travel) i was not looking froward to breakfast. From what i had heard, breakfast essentially didn't exist in Argentina. This was no bueno. My favorite meal of the day is breakfast. Much to my surprise though, it was more of a feast. Mi madre literally put all she could on the table and then some. It was great.
    Once breakfast was over, we all met up at the casa and went on a city tour. We saw a bunch of neighborhoods, and stopped at a couple different places. Boca was my favorite. The tour was followed by our first asado at the casa, so bomb. After our asado and some chill time we had our academic orientation, then started our intensive spanish week. When class was over, i went to Megetlon (or something like that) which is our gym. Its really more like a club. At dinner i gave my homestay family the present my mom gave me to give to them and they totally loved it. Can't wait to use the Texas cookbook with them. That night we went out, but the whole group tried to go together and it didnt quite work out as planned. It was still a lot of fun just walking and talking with people though.
 Today we started working on our scavenger hunt assignment by going to the zoo, the japanese garden,  the planetarium, and some museum. LOTS of walking but again it was great simply exploring and being with people.
