As it gets closer and closer to returning to the land of the
free I’ve been jam packing my days with activities to make the best of the rest
of my trip. It’s so weird to me that soon I’ll be saying I lived in Argentina, when it feels like I was just getting on my
flight down here yesterday!
Last weekend we went to the Argentina v. Ecuador soccer game.
It was incredible! Argentina won 4-0 and the fans were nuts! I was super happy
I got to experience a real soccer game in South America. It almost puts Drew’s football
celebration cheers to shame, but not quite! :P

This week was full of fun happy hours, a crazy drag show,
and lots of friends. We went to the horse races at the Hipódromo Argentina on
Friday, which was a blast! It’s a beautiful place and you can place bets for as
low as $3ARG (about $.75US). Two of my friends won some dinero back! I also
went to Feria de Mataderos on Sunday which is a market with a lot of artisan
trinkets, jewelry, and delicious food! I was actually mistaken for a real life
Argentine for the first time since I’ve been here – score!

Unfortunately I’m buckling down for the week since I have a
massive amount of projects and essays and finals and orals to study for… still
wondering when this became real school? I have lots of plans for the rest of my
time in Argentina though!!
Te extraño muchísimo!
LIXO, Dutson
