It's Friday and considered to be one of the days where we take care of the majority of our administrative stuff while here in Argentina. Along with that comes updating you folks on whats been happening here in the southern hemisphere. I must say, it's not a bad place to be living. There are certainly foods that we miss from the states, but they have been replaced by other foods here that ya'll may never get the chance to experience! I have found the primary staples that I need to survive though. Walmart is a 15 minute bus ride and stocks peanut butter most all of the time. The second and equally as important is cereal. They don't have near the variety, but that doesn't matter much to me. The hardest to get used to would be the milk. It comes in 1 liter bags intead of gallon cartons or jugs. And the milk is not processed the same either. It has a funny odor and flavor, but I'm getting used to it.

We had our coaches from Midsouth come in the week before this one to visit and gauge how we're doing. It was a great time to continue building team unity and focus on what our vision for this country and these people are. At the end of the week we took our coaches to BAries for the day on Saturday. We spent a few hours in the bario La Bacoca as well as a few hours in the bario Recoleta. Which happens to be my favorite. Recoleta is where the famous cemetery is and it just happens to be one of the coolest places I've been to here in Argentina.


This is a picture of myself, Jen and Brian with our two coaches Cam and Neale at an outdoor tango show in the bario La Boca.

La Boca is known for its wild colors and outdoor tango performances. They are also known for having some decent art for sale.

This is me and Jen posing for a picture in La Boca. It's amazing what a little makeup can do!

This was an outdoor drum line performance. Pretty sweet groove they were rockin.
