Home Turf

This past Friday, finally some of my friends came to see where I lived and meet my host mom, Carman. They finally realized the trek that I have to make to get into the city and my friend, Lizzie, braved her motion sickness just to come visit me! They all came and met Carman just for quick "hi" and to see the apartment. Carman thought they were all so nice! Then we tried to find a place to eat lunch but it seemed like most places were closed for siesta so we just ate at Telepizza which is a chain american food place. The hamburger I had was not the same as back home!

Then we walked around and found the beach in Algorta! It was late afternoon so the sun was going down and it was one of the most gorgeous days, yet! The minor set back is that the bay area is really industrialized and has many ugly cranes but I still got a good shot.

Once we hiked down to the beach we saw the cutest small restuarant, where we should have eaten lunch. It had a great porch so some of us got a glass of white wine and watched the sunset! It was the perfect day!
