hi

casa rosa. serves the same purpose as the white house. part of the plaza de mayo.

northern argentina
more photos of the falls
a girl in our group broke a bone in her foot in peru and i stole her wheelchair for awhile. such a nice boy.
i think the tall dude in the background is me. not sure.
this is a crazy cemetary in a part of town called recoleta. all the tombs are this big and it feels like your walking through a city. we also saw eva peron's grave here.
o crazy street performers.
more tombs shots


ruins we saw in northern argentina

its saturday afternoon. and due the fact i should be in el tigre right now i shouldn't be writing this. but due to my amazing directional capabilities, i thought we were meeting at the subway station, not the bus station across town. darn. so jud and I have passed the day so far eating pizza and watching movies. over all not that bad. we are going to the gym soon then who knows after that.

last few nights i've experienced some of buenos aires´ vida nocturna (night life). one morning jud and I got back around 3 am and the next day our host mom made fun of us cause that usually when the parties get started here. two nights ago i went to a hip-hop club till about 5am and definitely felt out of place there, not really my style of music. last night jud and i went to a salsa club that was pretty cool and ended up getting home around 6 when it was light out. in order to survive in this crazy lifestyle, we have learned to take naps after dinner from about 9-12. helps a ton.

my time is running out so will update when something exciting happens. have 6hours of class monday, tuesday and wednesday then next weekend we are going to uruguay for a day or two. sweet.
