Welcome to my first blog!

Hello everyone! I am a student from San Diego, California participating in the 10 week study abroad program in Buenos Aires, Argentina offered by San Diego City College in collaboration with Expanish.

As I fumble my way through the city streets - yes folks, I will NOT be driving the entire stay!!! :) - learning the castellano version of Spanish, snacking on scrumptious empanadas, and haggling at the weekend street fairs I shall be documenting my adventures so those of you at home can share the experience of..."A Student's Life in Argentina"!

Enjoy!

Guest Appearance







Ryan Robinson, currently a student of UC Berkeley majoring in peace studies, alumnus of Professor Bouscaren's classes at SD City College and participant of the 2008 Buenos Aires study abroad program came to visit our group for a week while on hiatus from his participation with Brazil's Landless Workers Movement.

And of course, here are more photos of daily life at school or on my way home...
