Overwhelmed by love: Even though Profe Levin “warned” us of the compassionate welcome we would receive, we were surprised by the warmth. We are treated as friends :) We enjoyed learning line dances to traditional Hebrew music and playing fútbol. Evelyn, Kate, Ariely, Jesse
Our first night with our hosts, the boys headed over to Fede’s house (one of the hosts), where they listened to Argentinian music, drank Cocacola, and ate popcorn - a favorite snack of the hosts. Others walked around the neighborhoods of the hosts and got coffee and pastries. At dinner, which is typically around 9:00 pm, everyone feasted on some form of beef. Further into the night, as things were winding down, many chatted with their hosts, played games (cards, Fifa, etc.), and reflected on the first exciting day in Argentina. - Grace, Milla, Brandon, and Beckett
Today we toured downtown Córdoba. The church in the Plaza of San Martín had a neoclassical exterior but the inside had lovely rococo decoration. The stained glass was expertly crafted. The mural on the ceiling of the church was very beautiful and we managed to catch the self-insert of the artist (and possibly a vampire?). The entrance of the church was mirrored in white tile on the floor, and there was a white scarf mural on the floor. There was an art piece of fingerprints on the wall made of the names of people tortured under the dictatorship. We also tried alfajores cordobeses, which were amazing. There was some confusion as to the role of the centuries-old crypt in modern medicine. Although we didn’t get to see everything we that wanted to, it was still a wonderful and engaging experience.
