The past two days have been really relaxed. Two days ago my buddy Jon from North Carolina took me to the walking trail - I loved it. We walked and just enjoyed the sound of the water and all the trees. The views were really cool. You could see tall grass and cat tails and behind them huge buildings. What a contrast. We must have walked about 3 miles in total.
I got a new roommate from Colombia. Talking to him is very difficult. I have never heard an accent like his and he uses words that I have never heard. I try to talk to him b/c he is very talkative but I get frustrated.
Yesterday was my sister's birthday. I missed it. =( I do have a present for her but it will be a while before she gets it.
Last night I got a chance to "chew the fat" with a group of guys from the hostel. I really enjoyed joking around with them. At one point in the night I said that I was glad I asked them a question b/c I don't have many chances to talk to the "nativos" from Colombia. Well what I wanted to say was "native speakers" (nativos del lengua Espanol) but I was in a rush. They had a good laugh at my expense. They went on and on about how I think they are walking around with hand tools with feathers in their hair. It was good fun.
Today I took the subte to the campus of the University of Buenos Aires. I was very interested to see how they set up their university. When I walked in the one building that we needed to go to there were huge banners all over the place. The banners must have been 30X20 feet.
I think the UGA group arrives tommarrow and I have to meet my family on Sunday. I still need to get my hair cut and shave before then. Also I'm going to buy my family a little gift. I hope they are nice and I hope they cook well.
