Estancia!

So we went on a group trip to the Estancia, which is basically a traditional ranch.   I was expecting horses, cows and very tr.  When we got there I realized that it was more of a tourist site than a real place to learn about Argentine culture.

There were no horses or cows, just some dogs. There were lots of plants but I have no idea what they were.

There was a pool and a tennis court.  So for a whole day we just chilled around the pool in the grass and played tennis.

The food was the most traditional part of the trip.  We each got chorizo, spicy sausage, as an appetizer.  We then had steak and dulce de leche ice cream as desert.  Everything was really well made.  I especially liked the sausage.  It was the first food I had in Argentina that was decently spicy.

There was also tango show, which was really great to watch but since this was my third tango show of the whole trip, I was a bit over the whole tango thing.

Overall, the trip was a good break from the stress of classes.

Sorry everybody!

So JDP is back in NYC…

I just wanted to apologize to my readers for not updating as often as I should.   Things got so crazy and hectic that I barely had time to call my parents.  I will be filling my blog in on all the things that I did do because I dont want to forget it either!
