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 restaurant in “Caminito”  and  we ate empanadas, asado, and ice cream. At the end of the day and back at the school  we had a tango lesson. We all enjoyed dancing tango.  We also learned about another type of Argentinean dance called “Chacarera”.
Tomorrow we have a tour of the colegio, go to classes, and to an art museum in the afternoon.  – Anton Blaho’19

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 res
