And we are up and running! Luckily my house mate was able to loan me her adaptor, so I'm back on my own computer. It was really strange typing on a keyboard designed for Spanish; not only were there extra letters, I couldn't find the apostrophe forcing me to use an accent mark whenever I used contractions. But that's all in the past and I can safely use contractions and add pictures!!
I met up with the others in my program for orientation in front of "Freddo"
The Ice Cream is sinfully delicious! I got to try a combination of Dulce de Leche and Strawberry; ¡fue ricíssimo! Orientation itself was nothing special, just house rules and how to use a cell phone in Argentina (harder than it sounds). The important part of the experience was the ice cream (fue un pecado).
Afterwards we headed across the street to a Cemetery; I know, it sounds strange, but bear with me. Many of Argentina's most famous figures are buried there including the Perón family. Apparently, Perón is still a controversial figure in Argentine culture. The cemetery was really interesting and definitely a stop I would recommend for anyone going to Argentina.
Goodnight everyone! Pictures from the cemetery to follow...
(Sorry About the alignment! I can't figure out how to change it!)
