To my loyal readers (aka mom & dad) I’m sorry this is a short post. I have to get up in 4.5 hours to travel to Iguazu. We are going with the Comisión to the waterfalls of Iguazu and a couple indigenous towns in the northeast of the country. That trip is Tuesday-Friday then I come back to La Plata to change a few clothes in my suitcase and leave again on Saturday (until Sunday July 3rd) to Jujuy, Salta, and Tucuman in the northwest of the country. I’m super excited for these two trips, but mostly just to be traveling again.
A few highlights of this week:
- Birthday parties for both John & Leksa (two other W&M students). Maya and I also made the birthday cakes for the parties and we are just getting better and better with every cake (one was a lemon/strawberry layered cake with lemon cream cheese frosting and one was dulce de leche and chocolate).
- Ballet with Maya in Teatro Argentino in La Plata. For a hefty $15 pesos (aka 3.75 USD) we saw Sleeping Beauty—very beautiful dancing and the costumes were gorgeous.
- Our house is painted! After a few days of paint fumes, we now have freshly painted walls (white, green and orange/yellow) which look fabulous. And then Eli decorated a new computer table with Andy Warhol pictures which turned out awesome.
- Delicious seafood risotto last night and a wonderful parilla today to celebrate flag day!
I was bummed to be away from home another Father’s Day—Daddy, you are the best and I miss you. I hope you (and all dads) had a relaxing weekend. And another couple notes to my family: Colleen, when I get home you might have to give up your “upstairs resting room” (aka my bedroom); I get home on a Sunday just in time for SND; and I hope you are ready for lots of pancakes when I get home because I have found a couple great recipes I am dying to try!
I hope you are all doing well, I’ll update again after my trips (with pictures too!).
Love, Caroline
