Catadora de Malbec

Just got back from wine country in Mendoza. Amazing. It was absolutely gorgeous and I learned a lot about tasting wine. This was the second and final program trip and we left on Friday morning at 4am by plane almost to the border of Chile. We went wine tasting, hiking, biking, and white water rafting! The landscape was beautiful with the Andes surrounding Valle Grande and we ended the trip with a campfire and dancing.

Primo Connor comes to visit!

So my twin brother's best friend Connor is studying abroad in nearby Santiago, Chile. This weekend he decided to come visit Buenos Aires but his other friend wouldn't put him up so I told my host family my cousin "primo" connor is coming to stay with us! haha They were so excited and then once he came they loved him even more. He gets along with everyone and, according to my host family, looks "just like me!" We had a great time going out every night and hitting up Puerto Madero, Palermo, the Obelisco, Recoleta Cemetery, Tigre and Plaza Italia. It was great having a familiar face with me even though he wanted to do something every minute of the day. It was exhausting but really fun. Here's some memories:
