"Familía de allá"

After much anticipation, my parents and brother finally arrived to the city! Being a tour guide was not easy, but I think they enjoyed their stay. They were here for a short time so our days were very full. My family was able to have dinner with María and her sister. Although there was a language barrier, it went very well and I'm happy they were able to witness 1st hand how awesome María is. We made it to a soccer game, thanks to the help of one of my teacher's friends. The team, Atlanta, is at the third level so it was not as intense as River or La Boca but I enjoyed it. Within the city of Buenos Aires my family experienced El Mercado de Las Pulgas, La Casa Rosada, El Cemetario del Recoleta, La feria de Recoleta y San Telmo, La Catedral de San Martín, and El Caminito en La Boca. On their final full day here, we took a 2 hour flight north to Iguazu Falls to be astonished by the widest waterfalls in the world. The thing that they seemed to note most positive about the city was the people. I am very lucky that I was able to share some of my experience here with my loved ones from home!

As we have had a new teacher for our literature class, we have gone on fun little field trips during the day and the work load has been much lighter. Last week during class we visited El Museo de Bicentenario and Parque de la Memoria. This week we visited el Cabildo, Cafe Tortoni, and we're going to el Museo de Bellas Artes.

Today marks the last day of my grammar class, which is quite relieving; but I am sad to see my time here approach the end. Nevertheless, it will feel so good to get back in Comfort Colors t-shirts, drive my own car, eat American food, and most importantly be around all the people I love!
