Hello all! Gotta say, not too much going on around here that's noteworthy, but I'll try anyways! Well, it's been pretty routine, just school and such, but on April 14th, me, and all of the rotary exchange students in Patagonia are going on a trip to the north of Argentina. It's 19 days, and we'll go all over the north of Argentina by bus, including Iguazu falls which borders Brazil and Argentina, should be fun! It's starting to get cold again here, while it's warming up in the U.S.! Oh well, can't have summer all year! Well, I'll let you all know as soon as something else exciting happens around here! Nos Vemos!

Visit from Sierra and Parents!

I just had the most amazing time with my parents and Sierra here in Argentina! It was so much fun getting to share part of my life here with them, and really showing them what i have here. When i saw them get off the plane, it was one of the happiest feeling i have felt this year! My host families were so wonderful and welcoming to my them, it was really great to see, and made it so much fun! They really helped by always having fun things for us to do, we were busy everyday! I think they really enjoyed spending time with my host families and getting to know the people that have brought me in and been so generous with me! After and an incredible, and fun filled week, I had to say goodbye to Sierra, again. But it was much easier this time, because I will see her again so soon! My Parents didn't leave until Tuesday though, and while they were still here, we took a little trip to Bariloche! It was a lot of fun, we went to one of the ski resorts even though it is summer, and took the chairlift up to the top, where there was great views! Then we took a road called the 7 Lakes Road, which is a mountain road that takes you past 7 amazingly beautiful lakes! At the end of the road is San Martin de los Andes, a city about the size of Ashland. After staying the night, we drove back to Cinco Saltos, and the next day, they left, and I went to my first day of school. What an aweful combination! But even so, it was by far one of the greatest weeks I have had, and i will never forget it!
