La Boca and Flag Day 6.15-16.16

Hola Amigos,

Miércoles was a busy day for us as we had our first sightseeing trip as a group.  We went to the La Boca neighborhood of Buenos Aires and had a nice lunch together. Ryan made a new friend and David purchased his tango attire (aka fedora). We will be tangoing in style in a few weeks when we meet up with the ladies from Fontbonne for our lesson!  We also toured the soccer stadium (one word: wow!) and walked down the most colorful street in Buenos Aires!








Jueves brought the Flag Day celebration in which we observed the fourth graders at Colegio del Salvador promise to honor the flag in front of the seniors and parents.  The school rector (President) gave us some moving words and great advice.  We then toured Universidad del Salvador (USAL). Don't be surprised if your son wants to come back for a semester exchange here! It was impressive!


The boys will be blogging from now on. We need to put those fellows to work- no more lounging around eating empanadas and playing futbol all day! We will keep the pictures coming but I am sure you are looking forward to hearing about his experience from the boys!

Be well,
Marian y Elena
