Hola from Argentina

Today is a holiday or dia de feliz in Argentina! It is the bicentenario, a celebration of their 200 years of Independence. I arrived in Mendoza on Saturday after a terribly long flight delay. My host family is amazingly kind and I am having a great time. Most of my blogging will be from a cyber cafe, so I can post pictures from my laptop. Internet is widely available here so I am glad to have it! We have been exploring the city and will start classes tomorrow! Sending mucho amor from Argentina!
