Tengo amigos!!

Life is great in Buenos Aires! I had orientation on Monday and met a bunch of friends! Most of them are from Germany; they all know German, English, and quite a bit of Spanish. I think it’s amazing that they can speak so many languages. Already planning my next language and travel destination! (Kidding Mom and Dad…)

A picture with my first friend Kadda!

Kadda and I explored after orientation and went to a little café then we all met up last night and went to a local bar. It was named Caracas and served Venezuelan food! I got an arepa con carne!!

This morning I had my meeting with my advisor and I found out I passed the Spanish placement test as advanced! (Lucky too, because I had to in order for my credits to transfer!!) I’ll be taking Spanish Language, Argentine Culture, Latin American Literature, and Tango! AND my classes are only Monday through Thursday 2:30 to 5:30 pm! STOKED! So much time for activities J

I’m so proud of myself; I’ve finally mastered the bus, walking, and the subway in BA! I’m finally getting the hang of the city and I’m falling in love with it and the people!

THREE (of the many) REASONS WHY I LOVE BA:

The Ralph Lauren looks like a freaking palace. Clearly they know good shopping.

There are wine bottles bigger than me.

My Argentina Mom, Maria, keeps her water in a bottle of Vodka.

Tomorrow we’re going to Colonia, Uruguay! We booked a day trip that includes the three hour boat ride, lunch, and a city tour. I'm super excited!! I’ll post pictures soon!

PS: It’s extremely difficult for me to speak English now… I’m so used to either speaking/thinking in Spanish or speaking in an easier way for my German friends! Es muy comico!

BESOS! LIXO, Dutson
