Some photos from program excursions in the city
of Buenos Aires:
 |
Tango dancers in the streets of San Telmo. When you
take a picture of a street performer, you should always
tip. |
 |
A very pretty tomb in the cemetary of Recoleta.
Chances are you will visit this several times during your
stay. |
 |
A portion of the monument to the Malvinas/Falklands war. |
 |
The famous balcony which Peron used of the Casa Rosada. |
 |
The Mothers of the Disappeared, still marching after so
many years. |
 |
A mother with her sign for her two disappeared children. |
Some photos of our apartments and host families:
 |
Kristin, Bill, Sara, Me, and
Rachel making chocolate chip cookies. This is harder
than you think. |
 |
Kristin had the best host family ever. Here's a
group shot of Kristin and the family on their rooftop
patio. The dad, in the white shirt, has just
finished grilling us chicken, pork, beef, and red peppers. |
 |
Sara and her host family. Not everybody can be as
cool as Kristin's family. |
 |
Kristin's room. Even though Sara is sitting in it,
it's Kristin's room. |
Life around town:
 |
Dinner at Carlito's, which serves more or less familiar
food for good prices. |
 |
Lunch at the Universidad del Salvador's cafeteria.
Look how happy we are! That's because the service is
friendly and the food is not too shabby either. |
 |
Grant's Restaurant, during our final goodbye lunch before
we parted ways. Good affordable buffet, plus we ran
into some people who coincidentally knew my cousins while
we were there. |
