first few days in argentina!

okay.

so this is the first chance i get to blog but i a am now in the land where wild penguins roam free!

Backing up tho to the beginning of my trip. i spent the whole day in airports...which sucks bc i am not a fan of airports at all. anyway. once i got on the flight to go to buenos aires i find that i dont one of those personal tv things...but its okay because the seat next to me was empty and they played leap year, which was an incredibly cute movie!! and after that was over i was actually able to fall asleep.

finally, come 7 am im in argentina! i go thru with my argentine passport so i got to skip over the long tourist line. yay. i then grab my suitcases and make my way to my grandmas house. i put the suitcases and stuff down and she asks if i want to go with her to do some erronds...so i go after getting more caffinated. then come 2 ish we have lunch and then i pass out of tiredness until 4. i get dressed and go off to a book fair where i went to listen to a free lecture by my future professor so he'd know who i was and stuff. after that my grandma and i went to met up with my cousin, madga, and get some coffee/smoothies. after that we took the subway back to my grandmas i helped with dinner, watched some tv and passed out.

come morning i went to get a hair trim and on my walk back to my grandmas, all alone, some guy with a kid tried to get into the same appartment building i had just unlocked. i asked if he had a key and he got all pissed at me. lala, my grandma, says i did the right thing tho.

anyway later that day some of my cousins stopped by and i hung out with them for a bit got some pasteries, drank mate, and then back to my grandmas.

Shes adorable, talks and talks and talks, and trys to fatten me up. everytime she sees me shes offering me food and when i say no bc im full she gets upset.

after that i went to the airport around 9 pm go to my gate and wait until like 11. then board the plane for rio gallegos..aka way way way south.

here i am! i have my own room in my aunts house, and they have wifi in the house which is awesome. i also got to meet my cousins baby. shes 2. very cute. but i dont think she likes me yet...she just glares at me and gets all shy and runs away. then her brother came whos 5 and they started bickering nonstop. entertaining.

later today my cousin, romi, is gonna stop by and show me around and after that were gonna go to my uncles house for asado...argentine bbq. delish!

anyway. thats it for now.
