| San Telmo Mercado |
Sorry for the late blog everyone! For some reason, the internet doesn't always like to cooperate with me in Latin America....

| Garrapiñadas and Other Sweets |
Every Sunday, a section of the city in San Telmo closes down its streets to host many vendors selling anything from clothing and jewelry to art and music. The flea market starts near the building of La Casa Rosada and stretches for about 10 or so blocks. Yesterday, our group toured the streets and bought gifts for friends and family. One of my favorite items to buy is the garrapiñadas, peanuts glazed in sugar and vanilla. Besides smelling them from a mile away, they only cost 5 pesos a bag! (about a U.S. $1). In addition to vendors, musicians and impersonators can be found at almost every street corner.

| Working hard, as always... |
After having a free day to tour San Telmo, our Immersion group went back to work at Amauta Spanish school. As seen on the right, our group is very hard working! (minus Pedro just trying to look good for the camera!) Once classes ended, Pastor Seth Haakenson led worship in one of the classrooms.

Later tonight and the rest of this week, the majority of our group will be learning how to Tango.
Pictures and stories to come!
