Days 7-12

Sooooo... it is hard to write on here every day! We are doing so much during the day that when I get home Im pooped!! Ill try and be better at writing on here so that I can remember what I did. haha

I think the last day I wrote on here was last wednesday soooo... TURSDAY we went to the cemetery!!   It was reallllly huge and we got to see Eva Perón's grave :) After we went to the cultural center which used to be where the priests of the church used to live in.  

FRIDAY, our group tried to get bus tickets to Mar de Plata which is a really nice beach but it is a 5 hour bus ride from Buenos Aires.  All of the busses were full and we didnt get to go :/  Friday night I went to a mexican restaurant with Andrus, Stephen and Adam and after we just walked around and we came across a show type thing for Carnival.  There was a stage set up with people singing and on the ground there were people all dressed up playing the drums and dancing!! It was really cool!!! 

SATURDAY was fun.  Stephen, Adam, Andrus and I went to an open air market that was more of a crafts fair.  Everyone was selling homemade items.  I did buy anything but I found some really cool things that I want to back and buy for family and friends back home.  :) 

SUNDAY our group went to a huge celebration for the Chinese New Year in china town.  There were soooooo many people there and it was soooooo hot!!!!! We walked around china town for a little and had lunch there.  When we got back onto the subway it was still really hot and when we got off not even 5 minutes later it was pouring rain!!!! We only had to walk 2 blocks from the subway station to our house and we still got soaked!! 

MONDAY was a holiday and we just slept in and then Stephen and I left my house at about 3:30 and went to buy a soccer ball and find a field to go play on.  Stephen had looked up a soccer field so we walked to it but when we got there it was a private field so we couldnt play there.  The guy standing at the gate of the private field told us that there was a field right down the street.  We walked there and it was a dog park with no grass anywhere.  We juggled the ball for about 20 mins and then left to go find a field.  We came across this realllllly cool lake where you can rent bikes and paddle boats :) we left there and went to have lunch and then wondered around some more :) I finally got home at 7:30.  

TUESDAY was also a holiday and we didnt do anything.  Just sat at home and watched some movies and did my homework.
