Happy 100th Day of School

This week is full of holidays!

Friday was the Argentine equivalent of a snow day.. a day without electricity!


The handful of students who stayed and us teachers celebrated with dance parties, soccer, and going home two hours early. I played at the park then went to an asado (BBQ party) at a friend's house.



Saturday was Valentine's Day. 

I celebrated by going to dinner with a friend then staying downtown for the weekend. At one point we ended up in a Carnaval parade and waged a foam war with strangers. With a group of friends, I went to my first public pool here in Argentina on Sunday.

Monday and Tuesday were Feriados (days off) for Carnaval. I celebrated by going to a water park with a group of friends on Monday, then longboarding and relaxing at the park on Tuesday.

Wednesday (today) is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent, and also the 100th Day of school! As a class we celebrated by imagining ourselves in 100 years...

 
 
 
 
 

Thursday and Friday we have an international Teacher's conference downtown, and Monday is my birthday, so I'm celebrating all weekend!

Not a bad first month here!
