I love you girls!!!
Last Friday night I had an empanada and wine party. I invited all my girlfriends over, and they all brought wine and their favorite empanadas (the typical food here). We had so so so much fun! My good friend Kate came over earlier in the day and we baked. We made a yummy challah bread, a chocolate bread, and hamantashen.
Yum! So there were like 10 girls here, and everyone brought wine... so 10 girls + 13 bottles of wine (plus Annie's sangria) = one DRUNK Sarah. I called it an early night. Lame.
My foot kind of got better. Well. Good enough for me to run in the race on Sunday. It was probably a really stupid thing for me to do, cause it still hurt a little bit. Well I jogged 10k, in less than an hour. NOT TOO SHABBY. It was a lot of fun and there were 25,000 people running with me. Pretty sweet. Here, you have to wear the shirts that they give you for the event. This shirt is an amazing celeste blue color (the blue in the Argentine flag). It was so cool to see a huge street, FILLED with blue shirts. I had a lot of fun.
I spent over 1/2 the day Monday in the immigration office AGAIN to get my SECOND student visa. It was ridiculous. The rest of my day was spent running around the city trying to finalize stuff for my parents.
Mom and dad came in on Tuesday. Their plane was supposed to come in at 7 am. This meant that I was going to get picked up at 5:45 in order to meet them at the airport. Well their flight was delayed 3 hours (which I found out the night before, thanks to cell phones and AIM.) I met them at the airport on a super rainy day. We ended up walking around Recoleta, having a good steak lunch, then having an awesome Merienda (late afternoon snack/tea) with my host family. It was really cute.
We went out to Cumana (my FAVORITE Argentine food restaurant) for dinner, and shared some small dishes, and 2 bottles of wine. We were all a little tipsy, which was fun. Yesterday I joined them for breakfast at their hotel, then we took the subway, and walked around Palermo. It's a completely different aspect to the city, it actually shows how real Argentines live, rather than the rich snobs in Recoleta. They left for Mendoza last night.
Christine comes in Monday morning EARLY. I"M SO EXCITED TO SEE HER! I feel like I never see my sister anymore. Anyway, I'll pick her up at the airport, then we'll get bussed to the domestic airport, and fly to Bariloche, Patagonia. This is in the Lake district of Patagonia, and it's supposed to be BEAUTIFUL. I'm imagining like Tahoe. It's in the mountains, with huge, beautiful, blue lakes everywhere. I'm stoked. We'll hike, and boat and everything. YAY!
No big running races this weekend :( Just a 10 page paper for my cine class. 37 days til I'm home though! I am not ready to leave, but I'm ready to be back home. If that makes any sense at all.
