I´m Finally Here

I am going to keep this one fairly short, I wrote a long one yesterday and I accidently deleted it. Anyways, I finally got to Buenos Aires and I absolutely love it. I live with a single mom Christina and her ten year old son Axel and her seven year old daughter Victoria. The children spend half of their time with us and half their time with their dad. We have a cat, which is the most annoying cat I have ever seen in my life. She is sickly scinny, dosen´t pure and her meow sounds like something dying. I live in San Telmo which is the heart of Buenos Aires, it is the home of the tango and la casa rosada. I thought I was going to be living in a corner or something, but my room is actually two stories and I have a walk-in closet and my own bathroom.

I have been in training all day every day, which has included taking walking tours where I have learned a lot about the history and taking tests. I will start registering for classes on Friday which will be a little different because I will be registering for three different schools that are spread out over ten different locations throughout all of Buenos Aires.

The city is a little intense. There are 749 different bus routes and they don´t have schedules, needless to say getting around the city can be a little crazy. I absolutely love the crazyness of it and once you learn how it works it isn´t that bad. The bars and clubs out here don´t even open until one in the morning and they don´t close until seven, the night life is a little intense, but I looking forward to familiarizing myself with it. Fortunatly, one of the girls that I have become really close with only lives two blocks from me so I have a partner in crime.

I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to hear from you soon! I will post pictures as soon as the internet is fixed at my house.

Hi!!
So nice to read how you are doing. Think of you often. I wondered why you registered for so many classes. That seems a little stressful. Thankfully you may take any and don't need a certain one. Look forward to all your notes. Love you, Aunt Margaret
