Today we had a very late start. For the first time in my life I slept to 11:30am. When I woke up my exchange student was waiting on me, and it was kind of awkward. We then proceeded to have a sugary breakfast with cake and croissants with tea. Then after that we went and played with the newborn golden retriever puppies who still wiggle around on the ground and have yet to open their eyes. They are soooo cute. Finally we got dressed for the day ahead of us. We had planned to go shopping, a hobby my exchange student and I have in common. After we got dressed we ate lunch which consisted of more sugar and pizza with salad. After that we passed time playing with the puppies once again while we waited on Khushi and her exchange student to come pick us up. We went to to a mall just 5 minutes away and spent nearly 4 hours shopping and enjoying some Argentinian Starbucks (very different but very good). I got a couple of gifts for my family and so did Khushi. Everything was quite expensive so I didn’t buy too many clothes which were quite cute. After a long day we ate dinner at about 10 with the family which I enjoy. After that my exchange student and I watched a movie together, but in Spanish so I had to pay close attention. Finally at about 12 I was able to get some much needed sleep.

Today I slept a lot, woke up a las doce y media. Tomas went to a soccer game a las diez and lost badly. He got home when I was showering, we hung out for an hour then went out with his dad and played ping pong. After we played, we went a la casa de Augustine and Jacob to eat dinner. We ate dinner and played video games. After that, we all drove to a party in Tomas’s neighborhood. We arrive 3 hours late and everyone was bored, including ourselves. After that, we walked home to Tomas’s house and played ping pong. It was Jacob and Tomas versus me… We played 5 sets to 21 and I won 4-1. We went inside, ate ramen and played video games. At this point it was… 4 in the morning? We went to bed and Augustine and Jacob slept in a separate room.

Hi Jilly! If you get the chance, please take a picture in a Starbucks. We’d love to see you in the picture too! We’ll be seeing Calypso next week, and we’ll try to get a picture of her with Ayla and Ari in a French Starbucks. It may be interesting to see how Starbucks maintains consistency and branding by country. Have a good time!
