Day 5

Hola!
Our host mom came home last night at midnight with guests! We had people coughing, yelling, and chatting in our apartment until 2am and then they started up again at 6am! Mads and I ate breakfast at 830 and headed out the door, as Marite apologized for the rowdy morning. WE jumped on the SUBE as we're pros now... I even invented this technique of putting my winter coat on over my backpack so I don't have to worry about pick-pocketers. Class from 10-3! I have the same teacher Monday through Friday and for 5 hours! Lucky for me, she is super entertaining! Today we, as a class, had an hour conversation about the Kardashians in Spanish.  She is super interested in American cultures and ways of life to rid of the stereotypes she may have of us "North Americans." After class we headed to their "China Town" with some friends. It was about a mile walk and it's like a mini New York china town. We stopped at a café... seems to be the thing to do here... ate some cheese bites and drank some coffee. We took the SUBE home and did our homework. Nice little dinner with Marite, complete with a taste of the famous "queso con dulce de leche," and we're off to bed IN THIS FREEZING HOUSE! Thank goodness for the delta blankets Mads and I took from delta to keep our feet warm!
XOXO,
Taylor
