| Inside Teatro Colón |
 |
| Me and Beethoven! |
Today was a pretty typical morning in which everyone attended their regular classes. Following lunch, our group met together to take a tour of the famous Teatro Colón, which is considered among the top five concert venues in the world (number one according to our tour guide). The famous opera theater comprises seven levels, one main area below, and side rooms for the president and family (as seen above). During our tour, we were lucky enough to see the finale of an opera that is currently performing in Buenos Aires. Hopefully tickets are still available before we return to the U.S. As you can see from the picture on the left, Beethoven and I both approve of the theater!

| Churro and Iced Coffee |
After an hour tour, my group decided to get a 'pre-supper desert' at the famous Cafe Tortoni. This cafe is known for its churros, chocolate, and tango. The cafe is also famous for being a meeting place for writers around the world, with a research library for tango scholars next to the restaurant. To spoil my supper with my host family, Ruth Nottling and I ordered churros and an iced coffee.
As much as I like the food here, I'm pretty sure I'm going to return to the U.S. wider than I am tall......hasta mañana!
