Diana, Eva, and me at Isenbeck Beer Festival
I went to a cute
street fair in Plaza Serrano this Sunday and bought a cute pair of earrings. I also found a Buenos Aires replica
of Chipotle: absolutely delicious! We’re checking out a Mexican restaurant
tomorrow and then hopefully sushi soon. Buenos Aires has every kind of food to
choose from and, from what I hear, it’s all fantastic!

I’m really enjoying my classes so far. I’m taking Latin
American Literature, Argentine Culture, Tango, and Spanish Grammar. Tango is
great: we learn about its history on Tuesdays and actually practice on
Thursdays. I went to my first milonga (tango club) this weekend and actually
danced! Probably should have gone to a few more Thursday practices first…... But
it’s all good.

My classes don’t seem too demanding. They assign homework
every day, which is different from CSU, but if you don’t do it the teacher
doesn’t care at all. I think it’s “suggested” homework? I’m still getting used
to the culture of the university. Super laid back and never exactly on time.
Works for me!
The next few weeks are going to be super exciting! Next week
we have Monday, Thursday, and Friday off. On Monday we’re going to La Bomba del
Tiempo, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AONMv_i41Ts&feature=player_embedded#!)
which is a weekly percussion concert. It’s supposed to be awesome!
On Tuesday
we’re going to the Quilmes Rock Festival to see The Foo Fighters, Band of
Horses, and MGMT!!
On Wednesday we’re off to Iguazu Falls for Semana Santa. We’re
taking an overnight bus there because it’s about a 17 hour trip. The buses are
called ‘bus semicama’ and are supposed to be super comfortable. The chairs
recline into beds and you’re served dinner and breakfast.
I miss you all so much! Besitos! LIXO, Dutson
