excuse me miss señorita disculpa

this july i'm the spanish teacher at an enrichment program in bethel. me dicen señorita maggie, estoy para contestar cualquier pregunta chee (definitely teaching them all castellano argentino)

it's pretty good to be back in bethel again~ i missed my big tea mugs and my baby sisters and my big old bed... missing my familia argentina but i know i'll be back there soon :]

my very dear friend ben left the usa for his first time to come visit me!!! unfortunately my camera got stolen during his stay and all that remains are these random, drunken photos from a boliche...
in any case, it's so lovely to have a visitor from home... it's like seeing two separate parts of my life combined and it reminds me of where i come from and what i've become...

nothing better to do post-final exams then spend the sunny afternoon in the plaza~ music, excellent ladies (here are eliza from colorado & raquel from sao paolo), about a billion pigeons, and a little herbal refreshment... the perfect afternoon in the plaza de congreso

on the way to the park, we stopped to take pictures at the facultad de derecho.
leandro, my big brother, te quiero un monton~

st. patty's day celebrated the argentine way! like anywhere else, it's just a perfect night to do a bar crawl and look great in green~ but maybe i partied a little too hard? :P

party at martin's this weekend~ my first night out with my roomie anabela (in turquoise) and the rest of my friends from my residence.

soo i just moved to buenos aires, argentina! more on the how and the way later~ the school hosted a welcome party for the new exchange students with an open bar this weekend and it was the perfect way to start a free new life in south america!

nothing like a winter walk in the woods with lanu...

the morning shift on a snowy day at the bethel cafe... no customers, just the coffee, the tea, the huuuge brownies and me :D
