aventuras

I took the tren all the way to Retiro station, and then navigated eight-lane streets, then through La Plaza de San Martín, y un poco por la calle Florida, then back to my host family in Béccar! All by myself, without getting lost (and for those who know me, that's an AMAZING feat).
& now I sleep.

Estoy aquí!

I'm here! The house is beautiful, my family is beautiful, everything is lovely. Except it turns out I had way too much faith in my Spanish abilities, in speaking and listening. In my defense, I am totally sleep-deprived and hopped up on sugar, though. Those guide books weren't exaggerating. I've already had coffee, dulce de leche crepes, and lots of sugar candies. They do love their soccer, drive as if road markings are mere suggestion, and drink wine at lunch. And Evita is everywhere!
