Buenos Aires Blog 2



Continuing with our adventures in the beautiful country of Argentina. The last two days have been very eventful. On Wednesday, we started the day off with a tour of Colegio del Salvador. The school is very beautiful and is filled with kids from kindergarten to high school. The school is pretty big, however it does not compare to BC High. The student body consists of 1200 students, which is not that much compared to our school. After our tour we were able to have a short break and get a snack, “Medialuna”, which is a croissant with ham and cheese. After break, we attended our host brothers' English class. This experience was very interesting, it was comforting to know that the students at Colegio del Salvador struggle learning the English language just as we do with Spanish. After we attended class, we headed off to the “MALBA”, or Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires. The museum was very beautiful and had, interesting to say the least, pieces of art. We spent the rest of the day walking around the surrounding area and returning to our homes for the night. Thursday was a very exciting day for all of us. Once again, we attended the classes of our host brothers. After the classes we left for “Estancia Santa Susana” (a farm outside of Buenos Aires). We were greeted at the entrance with empanadas and drinks. For many of us, we rode horses for the first time. After we rode horses we were invited to eat a large meal consisting of various meats. We then returned to the school to spend the rest of the night with our host families. I can assure you that all of us are having a wonderful time in Argentina. All of the host brothers and families have been treating us like their own children. There are yet many adventures that await us and you will hear of them in the days to come. – Declan Deasy’18

Estadio Boca Juniors - La Bombonera  On our first "real" day in Buenos Aires we met in homeroom with our host brothers and were then dismissed for a meeting where we learned about the school and some of the rules. Then had snacks and most of us tried  “medialuna”, a warm croissant with ham and cheese. We then left for “La Bombonera”- the BOCA Junior soccer team’s   stadium.   At “La Bombonera” we visited the team museum where there were trophies and videos of the team; similar to The Hall at Patriot Place. After the museum we took a guided tour of the stadium. We learned about the stadium’s traditions, for example, one tradition is when BOCA scores, the fans that stand behind the goal jump three times and yell gooooooooal. Then they proceed to climb the giant fence that separates the field from the seats. Once the tour ended, we headed to   “Caminito” - a street in the Boca neighborhood   known for its many houses painted with vibrant colors. We had lunch at a restaura
