Hello friends and family in California! It's been a while since my last post and I'm sure you've all been wondering what exciting new adventures I've had since my last post!haha...After Leanne and Liz left the Porteno city, my roommate Jessica and I set out on our own exploring of the coast of Argentina. First we went to a little town named Villa Gesell which was really fun, it was filled with tons of young people and everyone vacationing. We relaxed on the beach and walked around town at night.
After Villa Gesell we went to Mar del Plata, a very popular summer getaway for Argentinians. We went to visit with the two boys in the picture because one of them is from Mar del Plata and he showed us around the city. The beach was a lot bigger in this city and prettier as well, although the water on the coast of Argentina isn't the most gorgeous you've ever seen. The trip was so fun altogether, mainly because of all the beach/tanning time. We also got to meet Matias'(the boy on the right) family and we tried a home cooked asado dinner! Asado is the Argentinian version of barbeque which includes different cuts of meat cooked in a special oven. We went out one night to a street lined with clubs, called boliches, and bars. The street was packed as well as most of the bars and clubs and even as we left at about 5 am (early for the end of an Argentinian night out) people filled the sidewalks like a never ending party. It was a great way to spend our free time in another country and I'm so glad I stayed through the summer here to experience a different way of living. The people are so much more relaxed here and always take a summer vacation, sometimes for a whole month! It's a great way to live, if only Americans knew how to take more vacations, slow down and enjoy life more.
