Amigos!
Es tiempo para hablar sobre Argentina! Hay muchas cosas para hablar sobre. Empiezo con lunes....
Lunes (Monday): I trekked all the way to class and my profe did no show up. We all waited for an hour. She ended up telling us today that she was at a Roger Waters concert and was up super late and did not hear her alarm (side note: Roger Waters is really popular here. They love him) Todo bien porque yo pasé tiempo con mi nueva amiga Celeste. She is so kind and I am so thankful for her help! We bought some food together and talked a bit. Ella es divina. I went to my next class (Tango theory and dance) and we danced the whole time! It was lovely. However, it hailed that day and when I went to do some homework at a coffee shop I got pelted. Rude.
Martes nada importante pasó....
Miercoles (Wednesday): I had more class as usual but Cheri, Clay and I attempted to take a Tango class but ended up walking-in the middle of their class. We ditched that quickly. We then decided dinner would be the right choice (Hamburgesas! They taste better here!) We then decided to take a Tango class at Catedral ( a Milonga cerca de mi casa) and practiced our moves. It was a successful night!
Jueves (Thursday): It was visa parte 2 day! We had to travel out to Retiro where we waited in Migraciones and finally received our student visas. This process was not as bad as the first. After I returned to class and returned home to rest for the fútbol game. I was invited by Cheri and Clay because their host parents (who are in a relationship) go a lot! We met at the trabajo de Vale (Máma de Cheri) and drove in Marcelo's car. This game was amazing. We won first of all. And also the people had so much passion. There was so much energy, drumming and malas palabras... I learned them all that night. People have so much passion here and it is contagious. I enjoy it so much. It was chaotic the whole time!
We returned to la casa de Cheri and celebrated with a dinner of pizza! The pizza here is so fresh and is eaten with Fina (like the bread of the pizza with oil and seasoning put on top of a slice like a sandwich) So good. So filling.
Viernes (Friday): Another busy day. I tried to get things done but things just were not working out! I tried to get my tarjeta de sube ( I have been trying for weeks) and two places did not have it.... it is because of problems with the government as my host mom says. I will keep trying! No te preocupes! Also I witnessed a woman get robbed the street next to mine... she was yelling and three workers chased after the guy.... I decided to leave the premise asap! Life is crazy! Then I was invited to a Tambore event at the museum for the Desparecidos (if you don't know much about Argentina History, this was a huge event that happen. 30,000 went missing due to the Goverment "Guerra Sucia" (Dirty War). ) It was beautiful and full of emotions. Clay, Cheri and I decided to eat a dinner full of queso (mucho.queso.) Then we decided to Salsa dance after (just Cheri and I) with some other friends. It was great! I hope to go back again!
Sabado (Saturday): Some friends and I went to the Marcha para los Desparecidos. It began with us exploring the Casa Rosada! Beautiful. Then dancing in the streets with the Tambores (where my camera was dropped but I am getting it fixed soon ASAP). After we found the FLACSO group and marched a little with the people. It was so packed with passion and emotions. I loved every minute of it. I am just amazed with the people here. Unfortunately I left after a while because of major back pain (probably from the hard floors in the dance studio). I am better now and rested.
Domingo (Sunday): Fue muy tranquila. I did homework with Annie in a cafe and tried out a church with Ben. It was lovely but there is another church I want to try out. We will see how it goes. I really want a good church community here. We will see what I find.
Todo ahora. Mucha más en el futuro.
Disfruta la vida chicos!

URUGUAY
Amigos!!!
It has been a while! What a crazy beautiful life.
So my week was great, but weekend was better. Voy a explicar!
Primero: If you all didn't know I began classes at IUNA Movimiento for dance class (Modern Technique III) It is at 8 am Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays......... great planning on my part.........
However, I LOVE this class with all of my heart! I have been enjoying dancing so much and I have been making some porteña dancer friends! They are so nice to me and we have reached the "kiss on the cheek and talk about our week" friendship! Hooray! Me caen bien :) Classes at FLACSO are going well. Must do my work and learn as much as possible from the people around me.
Now to the real adventure, I want to tell you about URUGUAY.
My new friend from the FLACSO, Annelise, and I decided we were going to Uruguay. We booked our tickets and hostels and that was it. No research, no questions, nada. Just going. We met up friday morning after my dance class and headed for Buquebus, the ferry we would use to take to Colonia de Sacremento, Uruguay. When we arrived after a 50 minute ferry ride, we entered the station realizing........ we had no plan or map. Scrambling to find an atm, we withdrew 200 pesos uruguayan (realizing soon after that equaled $10 dollars American...... not the same as in Argentina) We walked next store to the bus station to buy our ticket to our hostel which luckily only cost 87 pesos Uruguayan (and they also accepted debit cards!). We walked down the street, found a map of Colonia and went into the old town. We explored around, took pictures ate some delicious food and had a lovely conversation with two Irish girls sitting at a restaurant who asked us for sun screen because their noses were burning. They told us how they were traveling for several months all around South America for vacation! What a lovely vacation! They spoke no spanish but had cute little phrase books to ATTEMPT to talk to locals. We kept exploring and found a cute restaurant to have a glass of wine to kill some time before our bus left. We ended up talking to two men from Belgium who were working in Uruguay to build a new port. We talked about issues in the world, America and Europe. They questioned us about our ways and we questioned them about theirs. They offered to buy us drinks and accepted water from them (since you have to pay for water in South America). In the end, we didn't realize how much time passed and had to run to the bus station. We tried to get money from the ATM and of course, it was out of order, the only ATM around. We had already paid for our ticket and we were off to Colonia Suiza, the country side. It was 8 pm at night and we could not see anything. Only trusting that our bus driver would stop at the right stop to drop us off. He did. No worries friends. We were picked up by Monica, the owner of the hostel, and driven to hostel in the country side. It was lovely. She made us cheese fondue for dinner (fresh cheese from the farm next to the hostel) and we DEVOURED it. We also enjoyed a lovely conversation with another Belgium couple who were doing a Around the world trip. They started in India and were moving to the East hitting so many cool places. It is a year long trip! How cool is that! Only $4000 for 10 plane tickets! We slept soundly in our room and the next day explored the country side. So many vacas (cows). I tried to speak "cow" to them (like dory) which ended up them getting mad and trying to chase us...... Never doing that again. Great conversation, great scenery. We came back to enjoy a lovely lunch of pescado con arroz tortilla. Best.Meal.Ever. (besides the fondue). We talked to the owners in Spanish about Uruguay, Argentina, our program and of course, the United States. She called a bus for us but guess what..... you need Pesos Uruguayan to pay for it....... we had only $5 worth. We tried to reason with the bus driver by paying in Argentine pesos or having me stay with them while Annelise went to the ATM... no go. Luckily we found this out before getting on the bus because if not, we would have been dropped off in the middle of nowhere. Monica was SO kind and drove us into town to an ATM that worked (we had to go to two) and showed us the bus station so we could wait. We had two hours to kill (or so we thought) and drank some wine in a cheap restaurant and shared dark chocolate. However, when we went back into the store to buy more chocolate, the woman asked us why we were still here... we missed our bus again...... no worries. She exchanged our ticket for FREE and we got on the next bus at 7:30 pm...... we were supposed to leave by 3.........
We FINALLY arrived in Montevideo, we checked into our hostel, met some Brazilians and decided to head to an Irish pub because it was St. Patricks day. Miguel and Monica gave us a recommendation, so we went. Well it was not an Irish pub, it was American and we drank German beer...... not very Irish. But the bartender gave us the drinks as a present (he had a little crush) and we talked to this gay couple in the bar for 2 hours. They were trying to help the bar tender (Ivan, both were named Ivan) hit on us... they tried. We returned to our hostel at 2 am and decided to go to bed. Of course, I could not sleep. So I talked to a Brazilian who was in our hostel room named Marcio. He spoke Portuguese and Spanish but no English which was great! We talked in Spanish for two hours under the stars. It was a wonderful evening. They next day, Annelise and I found the beach (5 minutes from our hostel) and soaked up the sun! It was so nice to relax. We also explored Ciudad Vieja and shopped around at the ferrias. Montevideo is so calm, so peaceful and heavily armed with police..... unlike Buenos Aires. It was nice to walk around and not be bumped into or stared at. It was a lovely break from the intense city. Unfortunately we had to head back due to classes on Monday but we both agreed we would go back and explore more again! Three days was NOT long enough and we traveled most of the time!
We made it back safe and sound!
More stories to come!
Stay tuned!
Hasta luego!

Baile Baile Baile!
Ay di mi! Un gran fin de semana!
But first let me tell you about my week:
I registered for a dance class at IUNA (the arts conservatory) I am taking a modern dance class three times a week! Lucky me! Classes at FLACSO are really nice. The professors are cool, the language is getting easier to understand, and the subject matter intrigues me. This is such a perfect fit. The traveling to get to class part is different but I am getting more confident day by day. The trick really is when using public transportation is don't make yourself stand out. For example: speaking English. If you want to get mugged, speak loudly and obnoxiously in English. Also, don't loose track of your things (purses, backpacks). Unfortunately not everywhere is like Holland, MI where everyone wants to help you out. Here it is watch yourself or get mugged. I am not trying to say that BA is super dangerous and one should lock their doors and never leave, but I am saying be smart.
So to the fun part, us FLACITOS had a day trip to Tigre (a province outside the city) for a day trip with our wonderful staff. It was such a great break from the city. We took a boat en el Rio to a resort like are with a restaurant and a pileta (pool). We spent the day swimming, tanning (burning), drinking maté and eating carne en la parilla (barbeque really popular en Argentina). It was lovely. They really know how to relax. No rush, just enjoying time spent together. I have also come to the realization that I love not using my cellphone. It has been wonderful having conversations face to face. Really getting to know the person and not hiding behind a device. Taking the time to enjoy life's gifts and God's creation of the human he created as image of himself. Perfecto!
Despues, I quickly got ready for a Tango show that Cheri's host mom and Clay's host dad (they are in a relationship...... the parents) were dancing in. They were divine! Just beautiful movement that enticed the audience. The voices here are so pure, the music so real. Nothing like auto-tune or special effects. Just raw and pure art. We need more of that in the States. Real talent. Raw talent. After we all decided to eat dinner outside at a restaurant en San Telmo at 11:30 at night. That is how the world works here. Dinner is late and a grand occasion. The waiter never asks if you want the bill and they never hurry you. You have to ask for it and you can spend as much time as you want there. We drank wine (don't worry amigos, I am 21) and shared pizza. So relaxing. We were given free admittance to a dance club in San Telmo called ReyCastro (I know....... what a name......) At first it was 70s wedding music and we danced like goofy Americans but later it turned into REGGATONE Salsa!!!! Now earlier, I was ordering a drink and was talked to by a Porteño. We conversed in Spanish for a bit until I reunited with my friends. All of sudden, when the Reggatone began, I was whirled around and began to Salsa with my new friend. I picked up quickly and he was said he was impressed that I could move like a Latina (AHHHHHHHHHHHH YESSSSSSSS).
The next day, Clay and I walked around Parque Centario (close to our houses) and scoped out some Ferrias in search of maté. We later shared some maté and got helado at my secret lovers heladeria. (BTW I have an admirer there. Every day when I walk pass, he waves or says "Hola" we have a friendship or in his case a crush). That night was the Tamborela show which is all drums and played by ALL WOMEN! GO GIRLS! It was the best music show I have ever been too! So raw, and modern dance was done to a few numbers! So much purity in their voices and music! The end became a giant dance party in the plaza where we were watching. We were pulled out into the plaza and danced the "Carnival" baile y ritmo con porteños! What an amazing concert. Nothing can compare. Nothing. You could feel so much passion. It was in their souls, it was running in their blood. I could feel emotions emerging from body and the music took me away. Around 12 (midnight) we ate dinner in the plaza of San Telmo and after tried to venture to Palermo. Those darn collectivos. But we made it and were hit with tiredness. What a long day. I ended up getting home at 5 am. YIKES.
So next weekend, some friends and I have booked a trip to URUGUAY for the weekend after classes to explore Colonia and Montevideo. I was told it is GORGEOUS there and I am ready for another adventure.
God is good, and I thank him everyday that I can feel so alive.
Vamos a hablar luego... Necesito hacer mi tarea.
Chau amigos!

Una Huelga, Collectivos,No luces, Tango y Recoleta!
Okay so I have had a crazy few days... I don't even know where to begin....
1. Una Huelga- this means "strike" in Spanish. This is important to know because the subtes ( my best friend when it comes to transportation) were shut down because the conductors went on strike because they wanted more police and other reasons. Of course this would happen on Visa day where we all had to make it downtown to start our student visa process... I watched the news with my host mom and I have to admit they have a legit reason to be angry but of course that means I must rely on the collectivos... mierda.
2. Collectivos- buses of BA. Difficult at first to figure out because they have a route going one way and another in a complete different direction. You also must know what parada (stop) you need and what street. Well la parada we needed was right in front of my house... but at first I gave the wrong address to two of my friends (sorry guys) but the others found it and we waited. Six collectivos went by COMPLETELY FULL. People tried to squeeze in or knock on la puerta de los collectivos but were unsuccessful. We met up with two other FLACSO students and looked for another parada. We found one and finally got on a bus... mind you our time to be there was supposed to be 9:30 am but we didn't get on the bus til 9:15 and we were waiting since 8:30 am.... We were on the bus for an hour and half because of the traffic and finally walked the rest of the way. That of course was the day I decided to wear a dress and my heel shoes to look more Porteña...... never again. We finally made it but they didn't mind because they knew nothing could be done about the la huelga de subtes. We went through our VISA process, ate lunch, and walked back to FLACSO. We walked by a huge protest at the Capital and heard the president (a woman president! Yay progressive Buenos Aires!) We could not participate because it means getting kicked out of the program (two students did that in the past and got arrested!) We were all so exhaused! I slept for 2 hours after that. It was a long day! However, it just kept going....
3. No luces. What happened hear you ask? Well lets just say, my adaptor sucks, my adaptor sucks, my adaptor sucks. I took a shower and was attempting to blow dry my hair (I usually air dry but this time was a big deal, we were going to a Milonga tonight and I wanted to look nice!) But my hairdryer caused a fuse to blow and we had no power for a few hours.... I apologized profusely saying "Lo siento, es mi culpa! Me siento muy mal!" but they were so kind and said it wasn't my fault and that the girl before did the same thing! A outlet in my room near my desk is super sensitive and hair dryers from the states are WAY to strong. We ate a romantice candlelight dinner (hardy har har) and I was off to Tango!
4. FLACSO sponsored a event to go to a Milonga for some Tango dancing. We shared some wine and watched some professionals before taking our own beginner class! Thanks to the group Tami Tango Trio that came to Hope, I felt very confident dancing and was asked to dance by 4 porteños! SUCCESSFUL! I am in love with Tango and wish to take more classes! We all decided to have a true Porteño night and go out for a while before returning home. Yeah you know, a typical Thursday in my life.
*I finished part one of my VISA process and to celebrate we were treated to a giant pizza feast thanks to FLACSO! So much goodness in one day!
5. So Saturday I went to Recoleta! A beautiful barrio, lots of tourism, and we visited the cementario where EVITA is buried! How cool is that! So much wonderful culture! We had a cheap but filling lunch on a side street with less tourists and they sun tanned in the park! We later walked around looking at the ferias (small shops) and enjoyed some cafe con leche before returning back! So much Spanish spoken, so much bliss. I returned home to find out we were having company for dinner and quickly changed. We had three of Maria Ana's friends over and Hernán's girlfriend, Romi, who is my good friend too! We enjoyed a three course meal of meat and crackers, Pizza with fina (a pizza without sauce or cheese that you put on top of your pizza, like a sandwich) and helado and cafe! Very fun! They left around 2 am and I helped Maria Ana clean up before going to bed.
Today, I went to church with Cheri and her friend Stephen who moved back and forth from the Maine to BA and it was just lovely. So much goodness. I met up with Annie after for some lunch at a cafe that was so delicious (I am still full) and then met up with Melissa and Cheri to tan on my terraza (roof) It was so delightful! Life here is so calm, one step at a time. Take time to wait and enjoy. Spanish is coming along! PRACTICA PRACTICA PRACTICA!
Hasta luego chicos!
