...the truth is I never left you...
I'm at home now. Just pulled up to 19 Mayflower street about an hour ago. Weird. The last few weeks in BA flew by. We had finals, a few farewell parties, and one last trip. My last trip was to Tierra del Fuego, the end of the world. We went to Ushuaia, the most southern city in the whole world, and we trekked through the Andes, skinny dipped in glacier cold water, relaxed, ate good food, and found an awesome bar overlooking the Beagle Channel where we celebrated Caroline's graduation. It was a wonderful way to end my semester. It was absolutely beautiful and it's one of those places that you haven't really heard people talk about, and when you go, you're tempted to keep the secret yourself. This small quiet mountain town, dark for 23 hours in the winter and light for 23 hours in the summer (it's summer there now), is just perfect. I can't descibe it all. Lindisima, buena honda... no se. It was amazing.
I got back from that trip to find BA completely empty... well at least of the people I know and love. Most of our friends had gone home or departed on other adventures. So I spent the day relaxing and soaking up my alone time for the last time ever in Buenos Aires. My parents and Zack came to visit for a few days. So, I got to play tour guide and translator. fun... but I'm happy to be home. We had a wonderful dinner with my family, my host mom, Juan, and my friend Nicola on our last night. That was the perfect way to end our trip.
Now, I'm home for the Holidays and I'm excited to be visiting everyone and to be home for a good amount of time. I don't have to go back to school until mid-Jan so I have plenty of time to just relax and enjoy my favorite time of year.
My Argentina adventure has ended, but this blog will include many more adventures to come...
