Finally touch down in Argentina! After a long and bumpy 11 hour flight the day we’ve been waiting for has finally come! 

We met Elissa and the rest of the volunteers at the airport and boarded the bus to our home for the next two weeks. After  settling in (and Lauren March realizing she already got a sunburn from the bus) we walked through the city to United Planet’s office for an orientation and Spanish lessons. We learned a lot about what we will be doing during our time in Buenos Aires and some things we might expect from the local people. Lindsay quickly learned that certain gestures might not always mean the same thing in different countries. After our lessons we walked through the beautiful streets of Buenos Aires to our welcome dinner. We were lucky enough to experience a beautiful couple dancing tango in the streets. 

We enjoyed a wonderful meal of steak, pasta and of course traditional empanadas. After a busy day of travel half the group decided to check out an event at the hostel to meet some other travellers before getting a good night sleep finally in a bed again! Looking forward to our first wake up in beautiful Buenos Aires !
