Another beautiful day has gone by in Buenos Aires, I swear it's always sunny here! It got quite warm too, about 60 degrees and it felt even warmer in the sun. Yesterday morning Jessie, Lizzy, Niki and I decided to check out the rural exposition in on of the neighborhoods. It was really cool because it was like a country fair right in the middle of the city. We sat down in the stadium part of the fair to watch the caballeros (cowboys) show their cows and horses. One thing that I loved was seeing them in their traditional clothing! They wore really cool boots, and vests, and hats, different than our western cowboys anyways.

Some other funny things I've noticed while being here are the mullets, movies, and music. It's not uncommon to see guys with mullets walking around, wearing skinny jeans and converse or keds. They fit in perfectly with all the 80's music that plays everywhere! I don't know why, but in most public places, it's all music from the United States, 30 years ago. I've also hear Jason Mraz and other newer artists, but it's Celine Dion and Michael Jackson galore (and yes he's all over the news here too). Also a lot of the movies that play on the TV are in English with Spanish subtitles, or they're actual voices are dubbed in Spanish. For instance, last night I watched Cheaper by the Dozen 2, but in Spanish haha. Today a few friends and I went to see The Proposal, which I was so exited about because I really wanted to see it in the sates, but got to see here!

Today I found out that I got placed in the advanced II for my Spanish level, and I get to figure out what classes I get to take tomorrow during more orientation stuff. Classes won't start for a little while yet, but it's been really nice being able to explore the city. I feel like I already know my way around a lot of places and how the whole transportation system works.

Love you all back home and thanks for your thoughts and prayers!
