Continuing... After we got back into Buenos Aires, we were picked up at the airport by Agustin and another friend named Mara. There are two airports that serve Buenos Aires. The larger, international airport is in the suburbs, and the smaller one for domestic flights is located between the neighborhoods of Palermo and Belgrano in the city, right on the river bank. It was a perfect day when we landed. As soon as we exited the airport we were in awe of how clear the water was. We took some photos by the bank, and then proceeded back into the suburbs. We went to Cecilia's house where she was hanging out with a girl named Romina. We ended up having dinner there and hanging out all evening. Cecilia has a karaoke machine, and we all took ... read more

I´m back. I cannot possibly describe how wonderful it feels to be back here. The only comparable feeling I can think of is the first day back at camp every year after missing it every day for 11 months. Every time I look around, my sense of excitement is renewed. Of course, it helps that I have already revisited a lot from last year. My plane arrived this morning around 8:30. I figured out how to use my phone (despite you know, being the same phone as last year, it seems to have an entirely different personality now) by 10. I was picked up by my good friend from last year, Sebastián, and his aunt, Mara. Mara is quite the diva. She has incredible jewelry and refuses to take off her sunglasses in public. When she ... read more
