Less than 2 weeks!

Yesterday marked the month and a half period that I've been here, meaning I officially today have less than 2 weeks left in Buenos. Luckily today was around 50 degrees and sunny, so I went running and doubled my distance. It felt really great!
This past week I celebrated 4th of July with a pub crawl and met a bunch of new people. There were people from here, England, Columbia, the US, and so many more places. It was entertaining because you never know who speaks english and who doesn't, so I just spoke spanish to everyone only to find out 5 minutes into the conversation that the person was from the US. Monday is Argentina's Independence day so we get the day off from school and there's another pub crawl going on. Some people get really drunk and some people don't drink at all but it's a good time meeting people and walking around in a giant group no matter what your level of intoxication :)

Later on today I'll be going to the Recoleta market to check out some interesting touristy things and just to be outside since it is so gorgeous. I have no idea how I'm going to handle the 100+ degree weather back home when I'm so used to wearing jeans, a coat, and scarves but I'm sure I'll be happy to be in the sun again since most days here are so gray and it is a big deal when the sun comes out.

Next week I'm planning on going on a graffiti tour with some friends from school and also to this amazing zoo where you can actually pet lions and tigers..I could not be more excited!! Pictures to come, of course :)

Did anyone get to watch fireworks or were they all cancelled because of the drought? I hope you all have a great weekend and I'll see you very soon!

chau!
