Feliz Ano Nuevo!
It’s the new year and a fresh start in a different country. We arrived in Mar del Plata a few days ago and our hotel is perfect! Our room looks out to the beach and it is beautiful during the day and peaceful during the night. The weather changes throughout the day: hottest around noon, coldest around sunset.
The food here has not been the best, with the exception of this spot on the beach that served delicious hamburguesas. Otherwise, it’s been bland and nothing all that extraordinary.
Our New year’s party was phenomenal! The restaurant we ate and partied at was ON the beach and the view was incredible. We shared the hall with other guests from the hotel and also watched our second tango show. The appetizers were better than the main course and the music was perfect for the occasion. It couldn’t have been a better fiesta!
Other than that, we are trying to explore this new city, enjoy the waves, and meet more local people. Classes begin on Monday and I am excited to see how academic life in Argentina really is. Happy New Year to everyone in New York and Feliz Ano Nuevo to all my neighbors and amigos in Mar del Plata!
