Simana º 2
Hey there kidds! how are things State-side? I have learned here many times that i can´t say ¨how are things in America?¨ because here in Argentina I am still in America, and this is an awesome bit of america.
So some clarifications on my family, i have two host brothers and a host brother-in-law, one named ¨Titi¨ is still correct, but the other brother is named Mati, I cannot at the moment remember my host brother in laws name, but Luhan in my host sister. Mati was vacationing in Buenos Aires, and lives in the house with us, which i foundout today has an outdoor kitchen and several bathrooms(?) for the pool(?) ...there is no pool, but i didn´t ask, cuz after he said picina there were several words I didn´t understand. He was out cooking like 20 pollos worth of giblets for the perros, i hope they like liver more than meee.
I love the mate, it is so good. The way it works it there is a small cup, with a straw that has a filter at one end, the cup is filled with herbs, the boiling water, and you just drink the tea that way, it is sooo good. My host mom and I, and frequently others, just pass the cup around, drinking it, then filling it up. This weekend we all went adventuring in the Andies, we had a choice we could either go horseridding or hiking, I rode the horses. While we were waiting for them to saddle the horses i hung out with the people in the kitchen and talked(or tried) and passed around the mate. After the horseridding we all went rafting in Rio Mendoza, and it was quite cold, we were all in wet suits and it was awsome!! I want to raft more.
Well the busses here are a little more crazy than I had thought, one crashed that had several
students on it, none of them were hurt but the dude standing in the doorway got thrown out and broke some ribs ect. PELEGROSO.
Well now it´s time for tea,
Catch you all later
