Its Been Awhile! But I was busy turning 21 and traveling!

Since my last post I have changed families (March 1st), finished my intensive Spanish month (march 5th), turned 21 (also march 5th) and traveled to Buenos Aires (March 5th-9th). I also have begun some of my classes this week!

Goodbye asado with my first family

I am loving my new host family so far! They threw me a surprise asado with extended family for my 21st birthday with ice cream and a present. They have been extremely nice and helpful so far. I live with an older couple (68, 79) and their 30 year old son. From my new house I have to take a bus to and from school but the ride is quick.

Birthday Asado 

On my birthday I had my final exam for the intensive month (both oral and written) and then I traveled that night by bus to Buenos Aires to visit some of my friends there. I was able to celebrate my birthday in Buenos Aires with an Asado lunch as a wonderful steak restaurant and wonderful gifts from my favorite Argentine clothing store, Rapsodia.

This was waiting for me in my room when I arrived in Buenos Aires.
