Sunday Funday

Seems like it has been so much longer than a week since I have been here. I've been constantly on the go, which seems to be the norm here.
We went to Tigre which is the delta about 40 minutes away by train with a bunch of people in my class. Its pretty wild how people live there, all the houses are on islands near the river, and the only way to get in and out is by boat. There are boat buses which go up and down the river if people need to get into town, and a market boat that drives up and down the river for people to buy groceries or anything they might need. There are no roads on the islands, but lots of people spend their weekends out there when its warmer or have them as summer homes. I guess its sort of a break from the busy life here. We spent the day there then had an amazing dinner at Cabrera's which is the 13th best steak house in the world-- pretty classy.
Today Bree and I decided to explore the city a little, we hopped on the subway and got off randomly at Plaza Italia where we found a little pizzeria and spent most of the day there, chatting and had a few drinks. We were talking about how weird it is ending up in places you could have never imagined yourself in.
Never did I really picture myself studying in Buenos Aires, but I am so glad that I made the decision to come here. This week is going to be a pretty crazy one, there are lots of people surprisingly celebrating the fourth of July here, and then the 9th of July is the Independence day of Argentina.
Im missing my warm fourth of July weather, but looking forward to the week ahead. :)
