Bus Rides and St. Patrick's day

I've come to the conclusion that this bus riding stuff can really make or break your day. I can tell if I miss the bus its going to be a stressful day, but if Im right on time its usually a good day! For example, the other day I litteraly had one step to take to be around the corner, and guess what happens... that bus just flies on by.. ugh! This was also the day that the bus had to take a different route because of the strike.

We were coming up on a rode and I saw a bunch of tires in the rode. It looked like we were by a car store so I just assumed the tires fell off the back of a truck or something. Wrong. As we got closer, there was a man actually placing the tires in the road! He had closed off half of every street and one street was completely blocked! The street that was blocked completely was full of ppl with signs protesting something. Also, they had two tires in the middle of the intersection and were burning things in it! It was ridiculous!

I finally made it to school, but it took a half hour!

Classes were fine, but Im still not used to having class for 1.5 to 2 hours. After class, Sarah Kennedy and I meet my host mom and sister, norma and Lucia, at a liberia... or a book store.

This book store was really neat! You could sit down and order coffee and read their used books at the same time. Lucia helped me "successfully" find a book about Gauchos.

After coffe, Lucia and Norma went looking for a birthday gift for Leo. Sara and I ventured out for a new cafe to do some home work at. We ended up a Cafe Vicotoria! It was really neat. It was like pub and cafe in one. The ceiling was really high and all the walls were brick. It was on the corner of the street so the the seating was curved like the corner and then on the inside corner / the back corner of the resturant there was a place to eat outside! Sara and I ate some media lunas dulce (kind of like sweet croissants (sp?)) and we had coffee.

In honor of St. Patricks day Sara got café con baileys! It was REALLY REALLY strong though and she couldn't finish it.


We went home around nine and I finished my Gaucho project!! I only got 3hrs of sleep that night, but I think the project went pretty well the next day!
