Week 4! Tomorrow starts week 5... LOCO

Another week of FUN classes.... well as fun as classes can be. We had our first arte en español class, which is SO cool. Each week, we go to an art museum and learn about a few artists, then we have to describe a peice of art in Spanish to the rest of the group. It's a great way to practice and learn more artistic terms, and a great way to learn about all the amazing art in this city. That was Friday afternoon. Friday night, we went to this awesome monthly exhibity opening called Gallery Nights. It's an entire street of new galleries opening with free champagne and interesting people. ¡Que divertido! Then of course, we went out around the town to a few bars. Saturday night we went to the coolest show de Tango. It's a tango orchestra of young men who play the piano, violin, cello, bass, and accordians. It was this dark underground club and it was amazing! I can't even explain it, but enjoy the clip! Sunday morning, Lauren and I went to a Presbyterian church. We didn't know what time it would start so we went 2 hours early (haha) and sat and had cafe. Then, we sat through a service which we tried so hard to understand; at least we could sing the hymns... Afterwards, this woman came up to us and in English, invited us to have lunch with the "young adults." I guess anyone under 50 is a young adult. But we went and had ravioli with about 8 of the church members, and met the pastor and his wife. It was very fun and we had a little Bible study. I'll be back next week for sure! We were there from 11am-3pm just talking and getting to know these sweet sweet people. Today, I'm going to homework....
