El Tigre

Today the entire group went to the mouth of the river that boarders Buenos Aires (El Tigre). The place is about an hour out of the city. I almost missed the whole trip. I slept in. I got dressed and ran 4 blocks to catch the bus in 7 minutes. From nearly naked to on the bus in 7 minutes. When we finally got on the road the first thing I noticed is that everyone in the group has improved their Spanish. Today is more or less one month in Buenos Aires for the UGA group. Two months for me. So I guess today was a celebration. We passed most of the day by the river. There was a flea market and plenty of cool views. Then we ate lunch. I really enjoyed lunch - it was so relaxed. We drank wine, beer, and sangria by the river and just be silly. The highlight of the whole day was the boat ride. The program paid for us to ride on a little river boat. They took a photo of me when I got on the boat. I will try and post it. That was the only photo I have because I forgot to bring my camera. On the boat we saw all of these rivers houses. Some were shacks and some were really nice. The houses reminded me of the FL coast. At the end of the day we went to measum. I was so tired. I want to go back and camp on the nature reserve. I'm pretty sure Jesse is down. I will post pics when I go back.
