Jeremy Schmidt's Argentina For Real
Kayaking, Shaking Hands with the Homeless, (mini)American-Argentina Futbol Copa
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Hi Guys, I don't have a lot of time to write, but these are some of my brightest memories from the past week.
1. Kayaking in El Tigre: On Friday, I went with 7 other kids from my program and Goyo, one of the prgoram guys who we all like. It was super chill...we took the commuter train to a quierter subrub called El Tigre which is a set of islands surronded by Delta Rio. We kayaked a bit, walked around an island, and picnicked. Then, some of us went to an artisinal market in downtown El Tigre.
2. Feeding the Homeless in Congreesional District of Buenos Aires. Three Weeks ago, a few Americans and I made friends in Corrientes with Argentinians that are part of a community service program whose mission is to provide food and emotional support to homeless in downtown Buenos Aires. On Friday night, for the first time, I joined this group. At 11pm to 1am (relatively early in the evening for Argentinaians) we distributed hot food to people on the streets, sat down with certain individuals, and listened to their stories. It certaintly was an experience! *I'm still waiting for my video about my trip to Corrientes Province, Argentina to load)
3. Going to Museo Etnografico to do research for my 14 page paper about Precolumbian art in Peru for my USAl Class. ( in spanish
)
4. Rugby in San Isidro (See previous post :))
What I am up to now. I'm trying to organize a football game between Argentinians and Americans in one of the city's central and prettiest parks. Here's the message I wrote in a sec... "Hola Chicos,
Guess What?! Obtuve una cancha en una de los parquet mas lindos para jugar!!! Se llama PARQUE LAS HERAS.
A las 3pm HOY, vamos a jugar por una hora con la pelotita. Te propongo que vengan a las 2:30pm (14:30) y reuniremos en la esquina de JUNCAl y Colonel Diaz.
Yo no soy muy rico, y por eso, les pido que lleven entre 30-50 pesos para contribuir al precio total.
NOS VEMOS. Les Espero!"
