We started our day late around 3 pm heading back into the city for some shopping and then watching a shower. The city drive was so beautiful and we saw some of the same things like we did when we were in the city as well. We went to Alcorta Shopping which is similar to Crabtree or Southpoint. Over there, we went and looked at Argentinean brands. I went to Zara, Nike, and Adidas. I loved the variety of collection and how the sales people were so sweet in helping you. We did some shopping there and then headed to have some Starbucks.
After that, we went to a supermarket that was below the mall. In there we shopped for some home items and it was interesting to se the difference in how a super market looks here versus back home. There was so much variety in meat and in cheese.
We then made our way to a farm that Federica’s uncle works at. Over there, we saw horses and they were in their stalls eating. There were so many of them and it was so overwhelming to see and pet all of them.
After that, all of the exchange mates and us Cary Academy students went to a show called Fuerza Bruta. Over there, we started off with some dancing before the show started and it was so fun to listen to Argentinean Music and see the crowd. Once the artists came, it was awesome to see how they changed each background and had so much of energy. I had never seen a show like this and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life. The artists were so talented and made everything look interesting. One thing that attracted the audience was how we were included and apart of the show too. We weren’t just watching but we were also doing moves and dancing. The show ended around 8:30 PM and we drove back home. The night drive was beautiful and was shining with all types of lights.

Today was a Sunday which meant that my host family would have some of their extended family come over for lunch. I was able to meet my partners grandmother, uncle, and cousin as well as have some conversation in Spanish. For the meal we had some pasta along with a special kind of sauce and some asado. After lunch we watched some soccer and then went into the city. In the capital, we met with a bunch of other exchange students and saw a show called Fuerza Bruta where we all got to dance and have fun. After the show we got something to eat at McDonalds and came back to the house where I almost immediately went to sleep because I was so tired and needed to get up early for school the next day.
