Getting to know Buenos Aires

I am really starting to feel comfortable here. I am finding restaurants I like, and food that I like. I am starting to talk to more people in Spanish. I have met some really interesting people and now I am not so sure if I want to head to Mendoza next week. Class has been going really well and I am starting to feel more confident with my Spanish. Two of the girls from class, Rhiannon and Valerie, and I went to a wine tasting last night sponsored by the school. It was run by an American. He has a business here solely for Argentinian wines. There is a wine down here from the Malbec grape that is not made anywhere else in the world. This is due to the climate where the grapes are grown here in Argentina. Malbec in French translates to bad mouth. However, when grown here it turns into a amazing wine.








I have not really had time to really pursue photography yet because I am really busy. However, the graffiti here is amazing and I am looking forward to spending a entire day either tomorrow or Sunday taking pictures.
























P.S. I found a place that shows American Football...........YES!
