So hello and greetings from Palermo Soho (mio barrio) in Buenos Aires. I can finally say that I have a home now. Yesterday, after three weeks of living through my suitcase I was finally able to see what I packed for the next five months.-It's hard to believe I've already been here for three weeks. I feel like I'm coming down with reverse home sickness, if that makes any sense.- So what I forgot luggage wise.... towels! (You were right mom should of brought more than just a beach towel.) I can not stress enough how good it feels to get out of my suitcase. A similar feeling to it would be: getting a knot rubbed out of your back by a Japanese masseuse. Awww so good, right? My symptoms of a runny nose when I'm awake and stuffy nose when i dream, and soar throat are slowly going away finally. The pictures above are as follows, left to right and then down accordingly: Thor in his equipo de San Lorenzo hat, my awesome bedroom that could hold at least 15 Shaq's comfortably, trying to get my visa situation all squared away, we had some friends come over that I go to CSULB with, and the view from our little back balcony.
If you couldn't tell the first picture of this section, that is a horse and a big one as well. So on Thursday my friend Carolina said she had a surprise for me. And as the pictures portray we did some riding of the horses. Being my first time ever on a horse, I think the self portrait picture kinda shows how I felt about doing this. Of course, Carolina was awesome on the caballo running, jumping, etc.. Me, lets just say all the horse heard come out of my mouth was, "traaaaaanquilo, and alto por favor." But, let me tell you it was super fun. Argentina I must add has some gorgeous horses. Matt, they were even prettier than the ones we saw on the side of the rode coming from the airport to BA.
My school. When going by this school and all the other universities here, you feel like your looking at a First American Title building. It is a huge 20 story building that oversees the greater Buenos Aires region. As you can tell the weather was not so good to show you the whole city. And even if it was good, this city is so big you would probably only see about 16-17% of it. The white building I took a picture of is directly across the street from school. It is the Australian Embassy, but from 1928-1932 (I think. I'll have to look at the plaque again.) Albert Einstein lived there...pretty cool maybe that's why this school is ranked in the top 50 schools in the world, ahead of Stanford!
