updates

So riding home from school today it really hit me that I was in Latin America, maybe it was the surroundings, the language, the cuarteto music playing while riding. Pretty good.

But at the same time i´m having withdrawals when i´m not doing something exotic. For example, everyday since i´ve been here has been like a sensory overload. Initially I was dying to get some personal space so I could have more than 5 hours sleep, but now when i´m chilling here on the computer I feel that I should be doing something. I think it´s just the thought of the hour. Everything moves so fast here that I shouldn´t even be worrying. I think i´m transforming into an Argentinian, with the desire to put dulce de leche (rich caramel) on everything, afternoon siestas, sitting in front of the house in the evening and chatting with whoever and all that jazz.

In the next few months i´m looking forward to seeing the Cordoba Sierra, driving down to Patagonia for Semana Santa (easter week) perferably improving me Spanish and whatever else comes.

btw the family i´m staying with are like the typical Latin American family, they´re so good to me. I´ll explain more in depth later.
