My trip to Argentina ( Elizabeth F.)

    This summer I went to Argentina and it was pretty fun. The whole thing started first day of summer when we were at dinner.That night Mom explained that we were going on a trip to Patagonia, Argentina, for the first month of summer and I thought that it was going to be super mega boring. The worst part was that we were leaving the next day, I felt we were going to a Spanish speaking prison.

    After we landed in Argentina, I whispered softly in the most sarcastic voice possible, "Let the fun begin," and put on a big smile to try to show how much fun I was having fun already. When we arrived at the Faro Hotel, we had to see my cousins on my dad's side of the family there yay (not). I started to listen to epic rap battles of  history (Cleopatra vs. Marilyn Monroe) when Mom called and asked me if I wanted the spa with my aunt. I admit that it was enjoyable and I feel more relaxed after that. After a few hours, dinner came around and the food was unbelievable. It was so good I ate like half of everything there. I don't know what was the best there but the fish was divine.

     The next day we went to the town and saw people wearing the same clothing like back home. We went shopping and got some things for our friends back home with our budget at 168 ARS (Argentine peso) or 20 dollars in US currency. I got as many key chains as possible for each of my friends with enough for a small toy for myself . After that we went to a café near by ( I forgot the name ) and it was yummy. Everyone spoke Spanish there,  my mom had to translate most of what they said ( having 8 college credits worth of Spanish and 4 years of high school ) and what we said. The next 2 weeks we stayed there and nothing much happened during that time but it was fun. When the last week of being here came around, we went to the beach for 3 days with 1 day to get to the airport.

    Here is a quick summary of what happened here. Day one, we took surfing lessons from an English speaking teacher, after 2 hours of lessons, we surfed but it was getting late and we had to get to get back to the seaside hotel. Day two we grabbed the complimentary surfboards the hotel gave us and we surfed all day, it was pretty fun (despite falling in the water several hundred times) . Day 3 we played on the beach for half of the day and the other half in the hotel mainly napping and playing Minecraft on my iPhone. This morning we had to wake up at 3 am ( I felt tired beyond anything at this point ). It was a long drive, but at this point, I had lost track of time. The next thing I knew we were back home. That was my trip to Argentina and it was super fun.
