July 11

So much for just a nap. I slept until about 12:30pm (which was only about 5 hours), then got up and went to get some ham and cheese empanadas for "breakfast". I did some homework, then watched part of the Spain vs. Netherlands world cup final game. Michael and I went to get food at a restaurant and finished watching the world cup final. I had a GIANT steak and a coke for 40 pesos (10 USD)... how amazing. I love the cheap and delicious steaks here, though I REALLLLLY miss mexican food. The first thing I'm eating when I get back is a giant plate of enchiladas and chips and salsa! And some peanut butter (you can only buy peanut butter here in chinatown). Spain won the world cup, and it's awesome how excited everyone gets when it's not even Argentina that's playing! I've decided I basically love soccer. After the game was over, we got an alfajor from Havanna, and I bought a couple boxes to bring home for everyone to try (they're dangerously delicious). I also got some raspberry and apple sorbet, then went home and finished my homework, and searched desperately online for the spanish raeggaeton songs that the boliches play... that I can't get out of my head. I also planned out what I'm going to do for my last week here (sad...). It's going to be a very busy week! I have so much to do still in Buenos Aires and a final on Thursday! Tonight we had asado for dinner (grilled meat, lots and lots of meat). Luciano surprised us with limon bols liquor after dinner. yummmmmy. Time to shower and get some sleep.
