HOLA! Honestly the days here are flying by and it seems that we're just not able to keep up! We celebrated Connor's 18th, last Thursday with an enormous Chocolate Ice Cream/Dulce de Leche/Apple 'cake' on the terrace, in between busy schedules of Spanish lessons and Volunteering.
The Super Classico went off like a house on fire, with Boca coming in on top! Those who went enjoyed the INTENSE atmosphere and without a doubt, had loads of fun! We've taken the opportunity to do plenty of sightseeing lately, San Telmo Markets, Puerto Madero, Palermo Zoo, The Japanese Gardens, The Ecological Reserve, there's a ridiculous amount of things to see and places to go, it'll be a tight squeeze to get it all in by the time we get home to be honest!
As a group, we went to the movies again, this time to see 'Water for Elephants' which was enjoyed by all, especially the boys! We took ourselves off to Bomba de Tiempo on Monday night, a huge improv drum show outside of Recoletta, it was so brilliant! We had a visit from Josh from Antips this Thursday, who came to check out the residence and see what we've been up to. He also still owes us all a round of drinks. Also important to note, we've become well acquainted with a bar called Job, about 2 blocks from the residence, where incredibly intense games of Fusball have been taking place in the recent past.
Most interesting perhaps, is that we're all headed off to Iguazu on Sunday night with L.I.F.E, the organisation some of us are volunteering with. We'll catch an overnight, 16hour bus, in first class hopefully, and arrive in the Misiones on Monday morning, where everyone will be volunteering in a outlying village for three days. We'll be doing construction work, cooking, cleaning, playing with the kids and delousing children. From here we'll head over to the falls where we'll stay for 2 nights to see the magnificent falls and visit Paraguay! For the last night of our trip we'll be staying in San Ignacio where we'll get to explore the Jesuit ruins before jumping back on the bus for 16hours to return to BA Monday midday.
I'm sure we'll have a whole bunch of stories for next week after this trip, so be prepared!
We send our Love and Best Wishes home,
Sarah!
