Last Thursday, August 1st, both classes of Spanish II visited La Manzana Jesuítica which is the oldest church in the country. Since it's beginning in 1617, the manzana (city block) has at one time or another contained a church, a university, and a high school. The church still functions as a church today but the other parts now act as a museum.

For lunch, we got to go wherever we wanted in el centro. I went with six other students and our two professors to a nice little place downtown which our professor said is known for having good authentic Argentinian food. What a shame that I forget the name of the restaurant! But I will have you all know that all eight of us ordered empanadas for lunch. Yes, they're that amazing.
After lunch, we headed back to the University and on our way, we were stopped by three people in green vests--the man had a camera and the two women were holding baskets of Coca-Cola Life bottles. The man asked us to be in a promo shot! So all of us got free Coca-Cola Lifes and got to feel like movie stars. 'Twas pretty awesome.
I knew you would do some sort of acting while you were there :)
