I'm home

I just got back from 24 hours of travel time and it is so weird to be home. I miss Argentina and everybody already.

The final banquet was amazing!! There were 300 people there and the whole night went fantastically. We performed our Tango show and Tanner made a really cool movie of the whole semester. All of our host families went. After the programmed time, we had a dance party until 2 am. It was really fun to all dance together. After, a lot of us headed over to the Drink Gallery. They kept it open especially for us to celebrate our last night in BA. It was a fun night hanging out with everyone and then staying out really late...con mi amigo. I got home at 4:30 in the morning and then got up the next day to finish packing and leave.

It took me 3 flights to get home. 4.5 hours to get to Lima, 8.5 hours to get to LA, and then 1 hour to get home. I slept most of the time because it was at night and I only had 3 hours of sleep the night before. I can't believe I'm home. It is weird that everyone speaks English, so Kelsey and I cannot just talk normally and expect nobody to understand what we are saying. I also have almost spoken Spanish so many times to different people...especially ordering food and saying thank you or excuse me. The culture shock is weird. It sucks going from being around so many fun people to practically no one. I am sad that this experience has ended, but I cannot wait to reunite in the fall. This will be a time of my life that I will never forget.
