Hola!
The past few days here in Buenos Aires have been pretty typical and low-key for us--we're continuing with our classes (our group had fun with some Argentine comics!) and in the afternoons we do excursions with our tourist groups. Most of the groups have completed all of their required excursions and are using this week to visit places that weren't on our list. Yesterday our group (and I believe a few others) went to a memorial that commemorates the victims of the Dirty War of the 1970s. During this time Argentina was in a state of terrorism as thousands of people who were considered political opponents--from reporters to politicians to students--mysteriously disappeared, and later it was discovered that they were tortured and killed. The memorial was formerly a military camp that was used essentially as a concentration camp during the Dirty War.
Today we decided on a lighter-hearted excursion to the movie theater! Several other groups who already went highly recommended Monsters University, so we saw it as well. It was fun watching a kids' movie in Spanish because it's very easy to understand and we get the jokes!
Until next time, everyone! Chao!
