Rushing around getting ready to go home!


Well tomorrow is my last day! It will be really sad to go, but I am also looking forward to going home. This last week I have bought so many things, and gifts for relatives! Friday was my last day in school, and I handed out pencils and stickers from Wisconsin. My classmates really seemed to enjoy them! Then on Saturday I learned how to make  noodles by hand, and how to make empanada dough. Later on Saturday I went to a friend's house from school and I drank Mate with some friends. Sunday was primary election day and my mom had to go to the city 25 de Mayo to vote. My sister and I went with her and then we spent the day at a friend's house there. Today which is my last day with my family I learned how to make Noqui, and I went on a walk around my neighborhood with my host mom. During the walk I took a video of the area!




























Tomorrow I am going to an office for AFS around mid-day and there starts my journey home. I wish I could have a couple more days here in Argentina!

My blog has slipped through my fingers! Its time to write again!

It has been so long that I have written! I want to apologize for that... but it must be because I am having such a great time! Well here is a little bit about what I have been doing... I have been to smaller cities, and the country, back to the city, bought gifts, made piles and piles of cookies, spent time with friends, and overall I'm having an amazing time!!!! I have about a week left, and I wish it could last longer! Questions? Comments? I'll answer! And here is the link to my flickr account to view my photos from my trip to Mar del Plata http://www.flickr.com/photos/65672198@N04/
