Hola a todos!

That means hello everyone. I arrived yesterday here in Buenos Aires at 8am. The flight(s) were long and uncomfortable. Our flight from SFO was delayed by about an hour and a half. Which ment we had to make haste to make our connection in Dallas Fort Worth. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city. With a melting pot of characteristics from across the globe. The architecture is indeed parisian but overall it is indeed a European influenced city. It is also very very large. I am pretty sure I will have some super toned legs, since we have to walk everywhere. The people of Buenos Aires, or Porteños speak Castalleño Spanish. It is heaviy influenced by the Italian immigrants that first came to B.A. in the 1880´s. My homestay mother Angie is of Italian decent and everything she says is complimented with a flurry of hand motions and a high and low lull in her voice, like a melody. After I unpacked and settled in I took a longgg nap. Then took a taxi to meet the rest of the Cabrillo School Group at the Siga la Vaca restaurant. Which is a buffet style restaurant that is known for their meat. Argentina in general is known for their steak and wine. I had wine, beer, water, coke..and lots of food. But I have been walking so much that it doesnt even matter. Last night as I excitedly told my mother on the phone they habe blood sausage here..which I havent had in ages. It was delicious...or muyyyyy ricoooo. Hehe. Today I had my first class orientation. I had to take an oral exam, my test taker said I speak like a spanish speaker from Spain...Ç(because of my friggen lisp) but she said it was beautiful and that I did a good job. I placed into level 4. She said my test was not that great but my oral skill is very high. So I was happy with that. My minutes are about to run out so I will have to talk about more later... !Hasta Pronto¡
