final weeks
i am back in Alta Gracia. through couchsurfing i have met two friends, Diana in Santa Rosa de Calamuchita whom i visited twice, and Emy in Alta Gracia. i am now staying with Emy also for the second time. my plan was to leave here on wednesday night by train but Emy and her friends have almost convinced me to stay until next Sunday so we can go to a tango competition on Friday night and a birthday celebration of a friend of theirs on Saturday night. yesterday i had a very typical Argentina day. we made empanadas with a friends mom, and then went to a tango class. the profe is competing in a tango competition this friday in Cordoba and we might go.
on friday afternoon i went running the longest distance i have ever gone. i ran from Santa Rosa to Villa General Belgrano and back. it was a total of 16km. i was so sore after that i had to take a nap and take a later bus to leave Santa Rosa, i did not have the energy to leave right after lunch. but after my nap when i did leave, Diana was so sweet, she told me she will be sending me a package with a few of my favorite things from Argentina and invited Al and i to stay with her when we come back to Argentina for our honeymoon. she told me i am always welcome to stay with her, there will always be a bed ready for me. she also invited me to come back for a few nights this week but i had to decline because i will be going to Rosario to couchsurf with another girl for a few nights after going to Buenos Aires for my last few nights. if i stay in Alta Gracia another week, i dont have time to back to Santa Rosa. i only have 2 weeks left! i cant believe that in a trip of 10 months i only have 2 weeks. it is so little. i have been enjoying buying new earrings and borrowing clothes from Emy because i am so tired of the same few shirts and pants i have worn the whole year. i bought an Argentina soccer jersey for me and one for a friend, and will be buying a Mundial shirt too in Cordoba this week. i have been drinking a lot of mate as well, i am thinking of buying a mate and hierba to bring back too. as well as spices for making empanadas because i cant buy exactly the same in the States.
i keep putting up new photo sets on flickr, so check there if you´d like.
chau chau.
un beso,
Annie
