The adventure begins

What an Adventure getting here!

9:08- Southwest airlines

My plane is scheduled to leave at 9:10 and they don't tell me until 9:08 that I am allowed on the plane because they supposedly overbooked the flight. Poor lady got quite the outburst from me.

10:45- Aeromexico

I meet Candida, Clarissa and their mom at the airport. We take a few pics, give a few hugs... it's a jolly time. Until we meet...Alma... the supervisor who tells us that we can't take all our luggage on board b/c it's too heavy or alternatively, we can pay the 120 dollar fee (heck no!). It takes until 12:30 for us to finally convince our beloved Alma after making a bunch of calls (keep in mind our flight is at 1:15), but we finally make it to the terminal and make it on the plane to mexico city. Ahh the joys of traveling :)

Flight to Mexico city= awesome conversation time with candida. Hanging out with other students during our 4 hr layover by touring the market, trying pig snout and eating sweet bread = wet, slightly disgusting and fun. Flight to Buenos Aires= my attempts to sleep failing miserably. Landing in Buenos Aires and driving to our new home for the next two months= absolutely amazing! :)

Ok seriously, Buenos Aires is so great. It is so gorgeous with its beautiful people, cobblestone streets and cute cafe's. We unpacked and then went straight to exploring the city in this region called Palermo. This area had the cutest boutiques and it was nice just to walk around a city for hours.

Praise God for the safe flights, the simple joy of making new friends and privilege of being able to be in such an amazing city! :)

Grace and peace to you all.
