My new mission :P

I’ve already accepted the fact that I will be eating my way through South America, starting of course with Argentina :D The food is sooooooo good!! Where to even start! Our first night here we went to dinner at Los Inmortales, which is supposedly the best pizza in Buenos Aires. Deliciosa!! It was that first night that I realized I’d be eating my way through the next 10 weeks. Even when I was full, I kept going because the food was so good and new. Probably not the healthiest thing, but it’s part of the cultural experience, right…if I’m going to learn as much about the culture as possible, then I gotta keep eating :D Since that night, we’ve hit up all the city’s best restaurants and cafes. And the best part is that it’s SOOOO cheap! En serio! You can have a super super nice meal and still not have spent more than $20-$25. Our meals have averaged $8 including tip (and that’s with all our food exploration). For those people who’ve been here or plan to come here: Los Cuartitos (another great pizza place; in my opinion, better than Los Inmortales); Cumana (out-of-this world empanadas, cazuelas, and calzones); Freddo (BEST ice cream); Café Tortoni (tartas to die for); Café Las Violetas (pastries galore); Torquato Tasso (UNBELIEVABLE steak and flan accompanied by really good tango and samba bands performing); the list just goes on and on.

I easily see myself coming back here again in the future. I could more than easily see myself living here for a year after college…the only possible impediment being the ‘ja’ speech thing. But I will say it grows on you. My mind is already going through all the possibilities for how I can come back and considering the possibilities. You know me and how my life plans are ever-changing and modifying. This could possibly fit perfectly in those 4 years between graduating and 25.
