On Monday we checked out of the hotel and headed back to the Stanford center just in time for afternoon classes. I couldn’t wait to see my host family again and tell them about the weekend. My littlest sister just had her fourth birthday this weekend and she was happy to tell me about her princess cake. I also got a package from home that included some goodies from the US—magazines and Kraft macaroni and cheese, plus more gifts for my sisters. Thanks, Mom!
On Tuesday I worked on some projects and fit in a mini-Lost marathon for all the episodes we missed in the past few weeks. This entire week is crazy because we’re all exhausted from the trip but most of us are leaving on Wednesday or Thursday for another trip this weekend (it’s a holiday weekend; next Tuesday is Labor Day here). I and several other students are going to Buenos Aires. I am so excited to be able to see this city again; I took a quick bus tour when I was passing through to Mendoza a few summers ago but it did not do the city justice. (Is it really nerdy that I already listened to the Evita soundtrack once this week? How I love Argentina.) We will all be staying in a hostel together which should be really fun. I really want to see the Plaza de Mayo, the Casa Rosada, the cemetery, and the giant bookstore made out of a theater that I have heard about from other students. I definitely want to get in some shopping and clubbing as well. My plane leaves early Thursday afternoon just after class (we’re taking a field trip to a church in Santiago, of all days) so I won’t be online or updating until Monday or Tuesday when I get back. Until then, ciao!
