Our group woke up bright and early this morning and got ready to leave at 9:45 am! We took a gorgeous walk through the city to St. Martin’s Plaza. We learned about the history of the its name and explored the beauty of the park. This coming Saturday, it’ll be the plaza’s 110th birthday! After, we took a lengthy walk through the city to the beautiful Teatro Colon! The theater was gorgeous. We learned about the history behind its French and Italian detailing and the paranoid history of its architects, with the first two both dying at 44 after starting their work on the project. We received the privilege of watching a wonderful group of ballet dancers perform a rehearsal in the most expensive seats that the theater has to offer! They were around 200 US dollars, with the cheapest seats being around 10 US dollars. After, we rode the bus to the Recoleta, an extravagant cemetery, with the graves looking as if they were mansions for the dead. We learned about a couple sad stories of some graves of young girls who lie in the Recoleta. Both girls that we learned about died at an incredibly young age, and died an unfair and unexpected death. After, we took the bus to “Corchio”, a restaurant, where we enjoyed a wonderful lunch! My favorite part was the delicious pizza! I also enjoyed the dessert. It was similar to a Klondike bar, I thought. Very delicious, for sure! After, we were all stuffed. Some of the girls and I tried to take a short nap on our bus ride over to see Palermo, a marvelous statue, and take pictures. We spotted the Quilmes group while we were there! It was shocking that we saw our friends in such a big city on a whole other continent. After, we made our final visit to the Japanese Garden. It was so pretty! We enjoyed watching the coy swim around and the tranquility of the place after a long day of walking around and learning. Finally, we headed back to the hotel to prepare for our dinner and tango show! Everyone dressed in their best attire as we headed off to the spot. We enjoyed a lovely dinner. I had the steak and chocolate mouse, and it was so good! Usually, I’m not a steak person, but I wanted to try something new, and I’m so glad I did! It was great! After our dinner, the show began. It was mutually agreed that the show was incredibly entertaining, with the dancers being extremely talented and passionate with their craft. So far, the tango show has been my favorite part of the trip. It truly was awesome, and so different to any show I’ve ever seen. I hope the rest of our days are as amazing as today was! –Avery
