On May 28th, we started the day out by taking a boat to and island called Tigre. While sailing, I slept and listened to the commentary. I learned that a lot of people live on water. There’s even a school that can only be accessed by boat. The river is like a highway, and people travel with their own boats and canoes/kayaks. When we arrived to the island, we played on a playground for a few minutes while someone got a soccer ball from the store. After we got the ball, a lot of us played soccer together. The indoor field was very slippery, as if was made of tile. After we played for an hour or so, we went to eat lunch. The meat course included empanadas, sausages, blood sausages, steak and ice cream. The vegetarian course was pretty much just different types of cheeses. The blood sausage was apparently just made out of cooked blood. It was very pasty with chunks of god knows what in it. In my opinion, it wasn’t too bad. The concept was more disgusting than it actually was. That said, I still wouldn’t want to have it on a regular basis. After the meal, we played another round of soccer and headed back to the boat. On the boat, most of us played a game called Mafia together. After this, we went to a naval museum. The place was huge, and in my opinion very boring. That’s probably just because I couldn’t understand anything that the guide was saying. After we finished the tour of the museum, we got on the bus to go to Pilar. On the bus ride, we pretty much just talked or slept. Once we got to North Hills, we were greeted by a big group of students. After this, my host and I went home and had dinner. For dinner, we had chicken and beef patties with barbecue sauce. After this, my host and I played video games until we went to bed.
