Two Full Weeks!

So sorry for the delay between posts! Things have been crazy here - crazy busy, crazy fun :) Time does weird things when you are abroad - I feel like I've done OH so much, that I have been here for ages and ages, but at the same time, each morning that I wake up here feels like the very first day of this great adventure. How cool. What a blessing. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that it gets pretty intense sometimes - living in a country where you can't bank on English has been really cool. Its neat to experience the life here in South America, not only observing from afar but really delving into the reality of their existence. Will I ever feel like I am one of them? I'll just have to keep you posted ;) As for now, I def stick out - Ms. Niki Tyner walkin around in her bright blue North Face and boat shoes. Oh man, what was I thinkin? No no, lovin it. People here are wonderful, and, I hope you're proud - I have even been asked (by B.A. inhabitants!) for directions. Yes, twice now! So I must at least kind of look like I know what I'm doin... ;) And besides, I like to wear my sunglasses while I'm in the subte, since having blue eyes is kind of an anomaly here. I must say, I look pretty glam. And of course, the sun never sets on a Bad Ass ;) (yes, I think that every time I leave them on when I'm inside).

But ok, I digress. Continuing on! Tomorrow morning, bright and early the group (aka the 100+ students studying here) is leaving on a mini-viaje to San Antonio de Areco to ride horses and eat bbq!! We will be gone til Saturday night, our first trip outside of the city since we got here - real outdoors, home-grown gaucho experience, first rate I'm sure ;)

But as for what I've been up to: Touring Buenos Aires 101. And loving it. The city is so full of things to see, places to go, food to eat. History: plenty of it. Arcitecture: amazing. Trees: everywhere. Museums: top notch. Weather: sunny and clear blue sky everyday since we've arrived. What more could I ask for? Well, there is one thing (as sappy as it might sound), but living abroad def makes you miss and appreciate your friends and family at home a ton. Not that I didn't before, but being miles and miles and miles away from the people you love gives you a definite opportunity to observe and appreciate the wonderfullness of the blessings of home :) Love you guys. Thank you for reading, I'll try to write more consistently, there is so much to tell!

Besos y abrazos.
