The Long Weekend By Tyler

    We started the long weekend by sleeping in late. For the first half of the day, me and my host family spent time in the apartment, resting after the week’s excursions. Although it was a short week at school, it still was tiring, especially after the Fuerza Bruta performance from Thursday night. We ate lunch in the apartment. Later in the day, my host brother and I went to a friend’s house to hang out and eat a snack. Later, we all went to a different host brother’s house to hang out as a bigger group, and we ate dinner there and watched a soccer game. 

    The next day, I woke up late once again. We left at noon to go eat lunch. I didn’t know where we were going, but we ended up going to a food-truck festival, but without the trucks. It was called Sabor A Buenos Aires. There were stands with tents set up, with all different types of foods. I tried an empanada, croquetas, a piece of pizza, ceviche, and a cookie. My favorite thing was the croquetas from the Spanish tapas stand. After, we went to a weekend market in Recoleta, where we looked around at all of the things that the locals were selling. Overall, the things that they were selling were very nice, but it was overwhelming trying to navigate it. We then returned home and ate sandwiches for dinner in the apartment.

    On Sunday, we went to the house of my host mother’s brother. There, we met with cousins and other family to have lunch. We ate pastel de papas, and it was very good. After that, we went back to the apartment to rest and enjoy the rest of the weekend. We ate milanesa for dinner and went to sleep.
