Saturday, January 29th

Today we were invited to Sr. Gomez's quinta (weekend house) in the countryside for an "asado" which was a get together with the students in my class and the professors for an afternoon of food, conversation, and of course fun!

In the photo, you can see a large chimney in the back of the house. The black part at the bottom is a HUGE grill and where they cooked LOTS of different types of meat. This was my first time trying meat in Argentina and it was very yummy.

Below is a picture of Catie and Kalon at the asado:

Drinking mate! Today was the first day that I saw people drinking mate in Buenos Aires. Most people in the city drink coffee, so it was nice to go to the countryside and finally get to drink mate again!
