Chicos! How’s it goin? It’s been so long since I’ve seen you (well, most of you)! I hope that your hard work is paying off and that you’re able to strike a healthy balance between studying hard and relaxing during such an intense exam period. I’d love to hear how you’re doing and what you’ve been up to over the past month. You can wait until we return to classes… or you can write to me here! (Which would obviously thrill me, as you can guess). Also, let me know if you need help or just want to get back into the swing of things by practicing English. Avisame!I thought I’d leave you with a picture from my July journey to the north. I took advantage of the school closings and winter break to explore Tucuman, Salta, Jujuy and Iguazu. This picture shows my friend Fareed and me running through the salt fields of Salinas Grandes. We rented a car (along with my boyfriend, Andrew, and Fareed’s sister, Sheeva) to drive through Salta and Jujuy and stop at the towns of Humahuaca, Tilcara and Pumamarca. Quite a dangerous drive full of twists and turns along the curves of the mountains (and of course the occasional horse and cow blocking the way), but the view was—to say the least—incredible. The rest of the trip involved bike rides to wineries and cheese factories, wine ice cream, humita en plato AND chala, folklore dancing, a hike to cave drawings, 3 different gargantas del diablo, and, well, you’ll have to wait to hear more.
In the meantime, write to me! Tell me what’s new. Can’t wait to see you again!
