Arrival in Buenos Aires!

We’re finally here! After our final goodbyes, a delay in Miami, and hours upon hours in the air, we are finally here. I am glad to say, with confidence, that the lengthy trip was worth it. Upon arriving at the school, we were greeted by the smiling faces of our host families, and some delicious food, including dulce de leche. Fortunately, that was not the last we saw of that wonderful Argentinean cuisine. After returning home with our host families, we unpacked, and, at least in my case, slept. Later we ate dinner, enjoying local dishes such as milanesa, and after that, some dessert (with more dulce de leche, of course). Last, we crowded the computers to find the score of the Bruins game, and we all know how that turned out for Vancouver. The next day, we woke up for school, and what for most of us (sorry Nato) was a pleasantly short commute. At the school we were given a tour, and after meeting some teachers and exchange students from Los Angeles, we attended our first class. For me, it was chemistry. I am not sure if this is a good or a bad thing, but chemistry makes just about as much sense in a foreign language as it does in English. After class we played soccer, and I am proud to report that Team USA is 3-1 so far. Well, that is all for now. We miss you all and will continue blogging on Monday. ¡Hasta luego!
