The End!

So clearly I got a little lazy with the blog... but I did the best I could! I've never been so busy for five straight weeks before. Any spare time I had was pretty much dedicated to siestas. The last few weeks were amazing. We finished classes and partied the last night with our teachers until 5am- such a blast! Then we went to Ushuaia and El Calafate for a week. Ushuaia is the southern most city in South America, and is part of Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire) and El Fin del Mundo (the End of the World). The city is on the ocean surrounded by mountains and is so beautiful. El Calafate is part of Patagonia, is a small city on Lake Argentino. Though there was less to do in the town, we got to see glaciers there. We even got to go trekking on them and everything. It was definitely the most amazing thing I've done/seen in my life.

Now we're back in Buenos Aires and our flight leaves tomorrow at 9pm. Then at 10:30am on Wednesday we land in Boston! We are all ready to be home, but it's still bittersweet to have to leave this amazing country. I would defnitely love to come back again, though I would probably travel around the country and not stay in Buenos Aires. The people in Buenos Aires think that they're better than everyone in South America, and consider themselves European. It's obnoxious. The city is dirty and poor but they still think they're the shit. Outside of the city it's not the same. Argentina is beautiful and amazing and I'm so glad I got to come here and spend so much time here. That's all for now... maybe I'll start another blog for my next trip. Thanks for reading!
