I am in a very good mood right now. I ran a 10k today in about 50 minutes. Not too bad for being a little out or shape from my empanada eating and quilmes (cheap argentine beer. SOO much better than that keystone s***) drinking. It started and finished at the polo fields in Belgrano. It was a pretty race, we ran passed all the beautiful parks close to av. Libertador. I only have about 7 weeks left of class. So since I only have class once a week that means ...

Okay to clear one thing up the Santa Rosa was a saint, so it is sort of like a holiday. But the huge storm generally comes the day of Santa Rosa and lasts for about a week. And it did actually start to pour Sunday night. It wont rain here for months, but then when it does it pours for hours. I love rain, so I don't mind the excuse to stay in and try to read hp in spanish. It has been nice to have a little break from the heat and humidity before it comes back...

And I went to the little cafe around the corner from me for the first time. Good coffee a...

If so I plan on taking a bus back up to Salta to visit the surrounding cities I missed the last time, then crossing the boarder and traveling in Bolivia. Then either fly or take a bus to Peru and of course visit...

So I need to upload photos because this dumb blog makes me pick a picture each time I write a new blog and they only have three from Argentina. I guess I'll just choose random pictures until I have my own. so lame. I sat in a cafe today by myself for two hours and read the national newspaper. I feel like I am probably more aware of U.S. politics here. There is always a full page that is dedicated to foreign affairs and usually most of it is from the U.S. It ...
