Tranquilo

Both yesterday and today were dias feriados (holidays) so we didn’t have school and neither did my sisters, and my mom had off work so it was great! Yesterday I slept in, ran, and then had a big family lunch with my grandparents and Raquel and my Great Aunt- I think that’s what she was, not sure. But after lunch I went over to Esther’s with Missy and Taylor and we cooked this really good postre I had seen my sisters make (saltines, dulce de leche, nesquick, and oatmeal- really good) and watched a movie. It was the perfect day after a crazy busy weekend.  Afterwards I got to have some really good skype convos and then went to Missy’s to spend the night.  Her mother is a dog breeder and so right now there is the cutest set of little beagle puppies. They are so cute it hurts. And there are 5 of them.
                                      
                                                                                          (imagine this, times 5)

Today Esther, Missy and I went to el Centro to walk around.  (Taylor caught a virus in BA and so she is taking it easy for a few days unfortunately) We had absolutely no plan and just decided to get off the bus and walk around. I’ve said before that there are stray dogs everywhere in this city, and sometimes they will follow you- like today. We had one dog- who we eventually named Sige, which is Spanish for follow- we had one dog follow us for over 45 minutes! We wandered into a random rose garden, a theme park, and eventually made it to the park. We almost went on paddle boats (but the other two were too lazy and said they would only go if I promised to do all the paddling) so we just ended up getting a coke and people watching.
Very tranquil day but it was much needed because classes start tomorrow. I kinda forgot that I’m actually taking classes while I’m down here!
