Olimpiadas

The last week of school all the students participated in what is known as the Olimpiadas. A weeklong celebration of sports and games, softball futbal, handball, volleyball, dancing, swimming, and the list goes on. Sad to say that my class came in last but I’m ok with it we all had a lot of fun, and that’s what counts. My favorite part of the week was the music. Argentineans are talented in EVERYTHING. One group played rock music with a mescal of classical instruments such as the violin; I was blown away.
The following Monday was Dia de La Estudiante. All students were given the day off school. For the most part everyone travels to Carlos Paz for the day. A group of friends and I took the bus to Carlos Paz and had a picnic. We also ate ice cream and watched different bands perform on a large stage placed in the center of the town. The town was packed as students of all ages celebrated the holiday.
