"La Mano" |
Hello
everyone! Sorry for the late blog, but
we've been busy traveling and getting situated again. On Saturday, June 22, our group left
Montevideo and took a city tour of the city Punta del Este in Uruguay. This city is known for being a get away for
Argentinians and the higher class. On
the coast, Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal sculpted what is known in English
as "The Hand", which was originally made to warn swimmers that the
waves were rougher in this area. On the
right, Bryan Gruenewald, Peter Buschkopf, and Sarah Helwig pose in front of
"La Mano".

Spanish is serious business |
Sunday was
a free day, so everyone took the opportunity to catch up on sleep or
homework. Today, we went back to school
at Amauta. As you can see from the
picture, we're serious about our Spanish studies.

Jardín Japonés |
After
classes, our group decided to head to "Jardín Japonés" or
"Japanese Garden". Located in
the Barrio of Palermo, this garden is one of the largest of its kind in the
World (outside of Japan) and contains a variety of sculptures and gardens.

Absolutely love the "serious business" photo ... and the sculpture is way cool too.
