Day Two

I´ve officially been in Argentina for over 24 hours, and so far, I like it.  My host mom is really nice, and tries her best to communicate with me (cringe) and made wonderful food so far.  Some things are kind of odd, like how the bathroom light doesn´t turn on every time you hit the switch, but you just have to keep clicking it until it turns on, and I use the toilet in one bathroom, but the shower in another.

I´ve officially mastered the subway, or Subte, and managed to get to the ISA office all my myself this morning. Yay Bry for giving me awesome directions (i.e. look at the McDonalds and turn right). Cora gave me a Subte card that apparently only Argentines can get so I could put money on it and use it while I´m here. Apparently foreigners need to go stand in line for hours at some place to get a refillable Subte card instead of buying each ticket individually.

I went to Bry´s apartment last night and got to take pictures of her awesome "river" view and eat strawberries from a little veggie-fruit seller.  We went into the supermarket too and I saw brain packaged right next to the ground beef and steaks.

I came early to the ISA office this morning (we needed to be here by 10AM) just in case I couldn´t find my way, so I have time to post this, then we have our orientation that´s supposed to last 3 hours, lunch, and a city tour.  I´m really glad that the city tour is going to be on a bus because my new rainbows are still getting worn in and they´re making the bottoms of my feet slightly sore.
