New Beginnings in a New Country: Feliz Pascua!!

Happy Easter everyone!! I hope you all have had a wonderful day! I'm not gonna lie, I can't really complain. I didn't have to wake up at the crack of dawn to go to sunrise service. I went to Mercedes mom's house for lunch. Her entire family was there, it was great. We ate lunch and hung out for 5 hours. I don't think I can say that I could stand being around my family for 5 hours straight... haha only kidding!

It's been a really good week, I've stayed pretty busy. I only had to work on Tuesday and I don't have to work tomorrow! I'll start back on Tuesday and teach the rest of the week. I start work at Duke Energy and some other company I don't know the name of. I should probably figure that out, huh?

I went to Spanglish Tuesday and Wednesday night! I met some really cool girls from Norway on Wednesday. They're traveling the world and will be in BA until the 17th, I believe. Thursday I went to the bakery... twice. Don't judge me. I don't know what they are called, but it's just like a stretched out croissant with sugar all over it. It's so delicious. In fact, I want one right now.. too bad they're closed. I went out Thursday night with some guys I met from San Francisco. It was actually a lot more fun than I expected. Friday night I walked around a lot and went to Puerto Madero and made empanadas with some friends. Yesterday, I went to a friends house with the girls from Norway. We just hung out on the roof and ate and talked. I met up with a friend after that then stayed in for the night.

I have something to admit. I went to McDonalds last night for dinner. It was AWESOME. It's very difficult to find "fast food" here. Not necessarily like Chickfila, Bojangles, McDonalds, Wendys... that kind of thing. Literally just food you can grab on the go. I was starving and needed something quick. I figured after I had walked like 5 miles on Friday it was ok.

Today was great. I couldn't have asked for a better place to be for Easter while in South America. Mercedes family was so inviting and so nice. It was definitely Spanish overload for me, but I had a lot of fun. Lauren and I went to the park afterwards. I tried to juggle.... and failed. Before I come back to the US, I am going to learn and I will be awesome :)

Happy Easter! I love and miss you all more than words can say :)
