Well, my first weekend between school days has passed and I must say Ive always thought more days off than on was the way to go and I definitely think I´m still right. Monday is a long day though which makes it extra hard to come back! I had a history class this morning and really you think its easy to tune out in lectures in english? Well try a class in a language you dont know because if youre at all tired or distracted, once you´ve checked out, youre probably not going to be able to tune back in. It just takes so much more concentration and brain power and therefore energy! ha. I need to save it anyway. I have two more classes and therefore four more hours straight. This little blog is my break.

Anyway, the weekend. Recopado! That means very wonderful here in Buenos Aires. My wonderul friend Lali and her wonderful family came for a visit from Chile for 5 days and it was five days of laughter, great food and popping botellas. It felt really nice to be with parents actually. Its comforting to feel again that someone is looking after you in that familiar parental way. On saturday we went out for our first big all out Argentine night, meaning it started around 2am and ended maybe at 630 am? But how could you not go crazy and stake awake when youre VIP at an awesome club (this one called Museo- apparently the building is designed but the guy who built the eiffel tower but Im not sure this is true. Why would you make a historical landmark a nightclub?). Lots of dancing to mostly american music from the 70s,80s and 90s which is an unusual find and very welcomed change from techno. Plus, Michael Jackson? Yeah, youre going to be in a good mood. Last night we went to an amaaazing restaurant called Cumana. It was recommended by a local so it was bound to have some pizzazz but it really did go above and beyond taste comprehension.... and it was cheap. They looked rather disgusted as the greedy Americans barely had room at the table for all the food. Pumpkin and choclo empanadas, ñoccis, two big pizzas, two salads (with mayo as dressing! not our fave), pasta and lomo y calabasa (beef and squash) stew. And for dessert, tres leches cake and extraordinarily tasty vanilla ice cream.I didnt think I would be that happy with something that didnt involve even a drop of dulce de leche.. which is something I´ve already decided I´ll never live without. Im hungry again. I have pizza in my bag sooooooo.... chau

PS its really cold here. You better be enjoying your damn sun lucky california residents!
