Today I celebrate 3 months of an amazing exchange! How cool is that?!
There is something really cool at my school called la fiesta de los colores! Or the party of the colours. This actually originated at my school but is now spread out through the entire city. We have one of the biggest events and we are known for the best esquemas in all the city!
I can't remember if if talked to you about this before (I'm sure I have) but it's a sports festival where all the students are assigned a colour. I got yellow, but there are also blue, red and green. I won both my tug of war matches and one out of two of the volley ball games. This event took place for four days but the last day was really the best!
The last night was the best because we had the esquemas (the dancing thing) and the anouncement for who wins!
Here are the links to the blue and yellow esquemas:
I'm still trying to find the links for green and red.
Anyways, here are some pictures from te last night!
By the way, yellow went crazy because we won!!! I guess I must be extremely lucky!
As you can see the girls that danced in the esquemas wore onesies/cat suits.
There was a ton of people!
There was a big after party that night but we all knew it would be really crowded so a couple of my close friends came over to my house and we had a movie night.
Thursday I went to another schools esquemas to see a friend preform and it was hilarious but really different from our esquemas.
This is what he had to wear (earlier on in the night he spray died his hair red too but then washed it out)
Wednesday was the last day of school so we didn't do any work, instead we ate cake and drank tereré. Of course we took lots of selfies too. Afterwards, we took the bus (my first time in the bus) to a classmates ranch outside the city. We bought food before hand, along with lots of water ballons! Let's just say I got soaked and didn't have a change of clothes. Oops. I guess I didn't read the whole text message.
(There are more but this is enough)
Then last night my friend had his art displayed in an art exposition which was really cool!
I'm still waiting for more pictures from last night. I had low battery so I couldn't take my own.
This is the majority of what you've been missing. I'm sorry for not updating in so long!
Love hannah <3 (that's a heart)
Hi Hannah
ReplyDeletehere is Rieke, your former host sister from Germany, when you were just born. Your mom told me that you are rocking Argentina right now-
unbelievable!! Where is the little two year old girl who recklessly jumped in the pool without knowing how to swim?! ;-)
As it seems you are enjoying your exchange as much as I did- it is the time of your life, trust me!
And some friends might last, like some of us: we invite each other to weddings all around the world right now and plan our 20yrs- (ugh! :-/) reunion in 2019 at the place where we first met (you were there, too, by the way...as a six week old baby. a little older than my baby now. her name is Janna).
I am so happy for you and keep on enjoying!
