Hey Everyone!
I made it here safley after my loooong journey. When I got to Cordoba, the city that I am staying in, Brooke and her friend Lena (who in German), and Brooke´s host brother picked me up. Although I had not slept the last 24 hours, they still made me go out with them! :) We went to the Armenian club, which is more like a community center that is open all the time to the Armenians, since we live in the Armenian part of town.
The this moprning I woke up at around 10, and drank tea, nad then headed downtown with Lena and Brooke on the trolley. The city is really cool, it had a lot of european influence, and we saw some churches that were REALLY amazing. We also went to this art museum that was really interesting. It was in an old mansion, and the architecture of it really added to the whole experience. After this we went out to eat at a little restaurant and sat and talked for a long long time.
Argentina is really a beautiful place, it is very green here, since it has rained recently, and FLAT! I never realized how mountainous Colorado really was till I came here. The whole 10 hour bus ride from Buenos Aires to Cordoba I didn´t see a single hill. I know there are mountains further north, but this far I have seen none. Argentina is also really cool for me, because I feel like it is the merganence of what I remember of Germany, and what I remember of Honduras, which have always been complete opposite in my mind.
Well I am having a wonderful time and am off to go eat some ice cream!
Hope to hear from some of you too.
