Nothin new in BA

Hello All!!

I know y'all have been anxiously awaiting my next post (haha). Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, but nothing too exciting has happened around these parts recently.

Just a quite update: Eli and Juan are both settled in in Berlin (with Bertita, the cat, whom I miss so much)!! Eli's friend Mirtha moved into Eli and Juan's room. She's super nice and we all get along great. Sarah is still here of course.

As for me, I've just been hangin out. Best way to describe it. Everything's going good with school and all that. My weeks mainly consist of going to class and to the gym. Those two are part of my routine. And, may I just add, the gym is so completely different here. The gym I go to is somewhat small, and it's only a half a block from my house. Can't get any better than that. But, it's so funny to observe people at the gym. Here, like everything else, it's a rather social affair. Everyone says hello and greets everyone (which is one kiss on the right cheek). It's quite nice. That's all. I just wanted to add that. We go out to eat usually once a week with some friends. Sarah and I have actually managed to build a nice base of Argentine friends. Ei's friend Lucila started inviting us places when Eli left, so, on the weekends, we usually hang out with Lucila and her friends. It's nice to have some Argentine friends. We've actually gone to Brazilian clubs the past couple of weekends. And, as you will see in the pictures, we learned a little Samba. It's a lot of fun. At first, it was a little hard for me to get used to the notion of dancing with complete strangers, but it's actually quite fun. And a nice way to meet people, some of whom, I might add, I could do without. And, on the subject of dancing, I went to my first Salsa class tonight. I went with Mirtha, who is practically a pro. She's been going for 6 years! But, she went with me to the beginners class, which was very nice of her. I had a blast. It was weird, because you have to dance guy/girl, and you change partners every few minutes. But, that's the way it goes with the Salsa. You have to get used to dancing with whomever. Interesting, and not something I'm used to, but once again, it's a nice change.

It's starting to warm up here. And the city is so beautiful when the sun is shining. Everyone is in a better mood. It's just nice. I think I will really enjoy my last weeks of Spring here.

I can't believe I will be coming home in less than 7 weeks!!! Time has FLOWN by! I am having a blast and thoroughly enjoying my time here, but I do miss all of you dearly!!! I can't wait to see everyone's smiling faces!!

I am going to post a few pictures. They aren't of anything special, but it's all I have. They're mostly from random nights out at parties/bars, but it's better than nothing. Hope y'all enjoy.

I love y'all so much and look forward to seeing y'all!!!!!!

BESOS!!!

Campana Sunset
This a picture of the sunset when we were in Campana. It's a town of about 100,000 about an hour from the city. It's where Eli is from, and we went and visited her family one weekend.

We like to pretend we hate each other. It's what we do.

A Brazilian guy, at the Brazilian bar, trying to teach Sarah how to samba. Haha, it was quite funny.

Wiiiiiii
They look so happy!

haha
He is trying to teach Sarah how to move her hips, something she does not do with ease. She knows it. She's ok with it.
