Our day started off in the airplane. After a long 10 hour flight we finally made it to Argentina! Getting through customs was easy, there was no line. Then, we took a bus to the hotel and met our tour guide. He gave us an introduction to Argentina on the drive to the hotel. After we put away our luggage, we walked to a bell tower and got more history about Argentina. After that, we went to lunch and to an Opera house. We got to observe the beautiful architecture and sit in the theater and watch workers practice with the lighting. Then, we went back to the hotel for a few hours to relax. Finally, we went to dinner and went for a short walk next to the water. We drove back to the hotel and got ready for bed. –Sophia
At 9 am, we finally landed in Buenos Aires. After retrieving our belongings, we took a bus to our hotel. The tour guides and chaperones allowed us some time to relax and drop off our luggage before going on a city tour. Our first stop was Torre Monumental, where we enjoyed a towering view of the city from its impressive height. Following that, we dined at a restaurant for lunch. Next, we visited Teatro Colón, a huge and articulate theater with deep historic roots connected to its present. Our tour guide for the theater gave us access to the main auditorium while there was no performance. Although it was dark and empty, that only added to the acoustic magnitude of the theater. Once again, we were given an extended break, during which most students freshened up and relaxed. For dinner, we headed to La Bistecca. To conclude the day, we took a calming late-night walk around the town after our meal. –Abben
