WHAT A WEEK! So many things occurred this week, and I am just now having a chance to relax my brain!
This past weekend, the family celebrated the 1 year birthday of baby Carlitos.. who is just adorable and precious. We had an Asado which is a grill out, and just relaxed for the weekend. This weekend is Antonia's 4th birthday, so we will be partying it up this weekend as well.
Some of us extranjeros are planning a weekend trip to Buenos Aires in May, which is exciting! new stamp in the passport!!!x
Wednesday was...to say the least.. entertaining. A group of us went to watch Cole Cole (Chilean futbol team) play against the Santos (Brazilian futbol team) and had an incredible time trying to imitate the chants, and dancing to the rhythmic beats of some drum on the other side of the field, which led the chants. We were treated like celebrities.. perhaps because we were mainly females in a sea of men...? But we had a few randoms take pictures with us... Fun times!
We went to a club afterwards.. which took ages to get to, and which you definitely need a few drinks beforehand in order to enjoy... I chose a bottle of wine... Which is normally fine.. But most likely I will not do that again....
Thursday, after waking up too late to go to the 1 class I felt like I needed to attend (Thank you, bottle of wine..) I went to the beach with -so it seems- the entire university for a day of sun, fun, cumbia, and way too many drunk people. As I was not feeling my best, I decided water and gatorade, a couple empanadas and my shades would suffice! I was 100% correct, and ended up having to push several borrachos (drunk people) away from me and my sober friends. It was fun, though, finally getting to see the beautiful ocean, and the GORGEOUS scenery on the drive to and from the beach.
After returning to campus, I went home, cooked a nice hot meal for myself, and passed out for the night.
As my cousin Mitchell would say... "Kate, you just can't go hard in the paint like me"... Correct, Mitchell.. correct.
It has been an amazing week, and now I have to sit down and read, cook my meals for the next few days, and prep for birthday fiestas in the weekend!
Besos!!xx
