Well, I'm back from my 10 day "spring break". I'm not totally sure why they refer to it in this way since it is, in fact, almost fall here in Argentina. But I suppose the name doesn't really matter much, us ACA were all excited to have break from school. The best part about my break was that my mom came down to travel with me! It was so fun, and definitely an adventure having her here.
Although we met up a few different times with some ACA friends, for the most part it was just me and her so that left me, the only spanish speaker, doing all of the arranging. It was REALLY great practice for me, and although I had a few issues along the way, we mostly got along really well :) 
Yes! My spanish is getting better!!
We started out in Mar Del Plata where we met up with my friend Trisha. We stayed there for 3 days enjoying cafe shop hopping, and strolling the beach/town and enjoying all the great "sights".
We said goodbye to Trisha from there and mom and I headed on a dreadfully long bus ride down to Bariloche.
Bariloche is my favorite Argentinian city. It is located in the Lake District and is surrounded by beautiful lakes, mountians and adorable sweedish buildings. Oh, and did I mention that it is the Chocolate capital of the country. Perfect.
Mom and I stayed in an adorable apartment, and tasted chocolate all day long. It was amazing.
A few days after we got there we met up with two other friends, Emily and Laura. We all rented a car and drove two hours to a fun Hippie town and another lake.
A few days later we packed up and headed out on a 30 hour bus trip back to the school. It was definitely a loooong trip, but we made it back safely. Mom got to hang out at la UAP for a few days before she packed up again and headed home :(
Anyway, a very condensed version of an awesome break. It was so great having my mom down here, giving her a taste of my argentinian life. :) Only 65 more days left! I can't believe it!
