Tuesday
What a hectic day! I haven't felt rushed my whole stay here but Tuesday was a different story. I had my class presentation today about the Boca Juniors soccer team, so we took a field trip to La Boca for the day. Two girls gave a presentation on the sights and history of the Boca neighborhood, and after walking through the colorful streets again I led the class to La Bombanera where the Boca Juniors play. I talked all about how the team is the team of the common man, the immigrant, and the working class. I talked about Boca's famous players, including Maradona (who is like a deity in Latin America).
We also visited a local printing press that prints books and poetry of local authors. They bind the books with recycled cardboard so it is very cheap but a great way for the "everyday person to express his/her ideas".It took forever to get back from Boca on the bus and then even longer on the Subte to the complete other side of town for my yoga lesson. I was a little late but yoga was incredibly relaxing and I like having a smaller yoga class. Besides, Flor my instructor is one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. We also had a cooking class right after yoga and there we learned to make empanadas! I plan to make them for my family in Houston once I return, although making the dough is very very messy.
When I got home I gave Sergio, our apartment's night security guard, my extra empanadas and told him about my day. He's always the first to hear about my day and is incredibly nice. Susana says all the girl student who have stayed with her fall in love with Sergio. I don't doubt it.
