Hey there friends and family! Since my last update, a few interesting things have happened. On Wednesday, my friend Jay and his family took me to Nono and Mina Clavero to see the sierras and go to Rocsen Museum. The sierras were bea
utiful, but unfortunately we were in a car most of the time so we didn't get to enjoy it much. The Rocsen Museum was much different than any museum I've ever been to- it was basically a lot of items thrown into glass cases held together by scotch tape, but they did have some interesting things. Jay soon became afraid after he saw multiple human skulls and quickly started to rant about how horrible this museum was. We got back to Villa Dolores and my sisters and I then got ready for Roxie's (a 6 month AFS 
student) going away party. All the AFS students and some Argentines decided to meet at a store so we could all walk togethe
r, but Jay and his brother were 30 minutes late, so we were all standing in the cold for a long time. They finally arrived, and we went to Victor's house (where the party was). It started around 9, and people started dancing around 11. We all danced "American Style" (in a large circle, just moving/jumping) and then we danced cuarteto, a traditional Argentine dance, kind of like Tango, but less difficult. Then we all talked until 2 when people started to leave and our parents picked us up. Skipping to yesterday because we didn't do much on the rest of the week, we went to Dique La Vina, a dam, to walk around and see the lake. It was incredible; the lake, the sierras, and the blue sky all together made a beautiful sight. Unfortunately, when we got back,
we had to go to the bus station to say goodbye to Roxie, so it was very sad. It turned out that she missed her original bus and had to go on a different one that left 20 minutes later! After the sad parting, Jay, Alex, Victor, my sisters, some friends and I decided to go to the carnival, but because the rides looked unsafe (none had seatbelts) we chose not to buy tickets, but instead go to Victor's house to watch a movie
. Mariana, Iris (my sisters) and I then took a taxi home after the movie. Hopefully you all are having a wonderful summer, because I am having a wonderful winter!
