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!

Siga la Baca - Aug 31, 2010


Expanish has a fantastic activities coordinator, Javier, who posts excursions around town for students to participate and learn the terrain. Siga la Baca, a buffet style steakhouse in the renovated Puerto Madero was on the schedule for the evening. Another US student staying at my homestay had highly recommended the restaurant as well. A chance to meet other Expanish students, meander the walkways of the trendy Puerto Madero, and sample the Argentine beef so lauded by the locals, I found myself signing up without hesitation.

For a mere US$20 we feasted on salad, other veggies and appetizer style items, unlimited grilled beef cuts, chorizo, dessert, and a choice of a bottle of Argentine wine (red or white), a pitcher of beer, or regular soft drink (tip already included!).
