Dear Chris,
I'm writing you from Buenos Aires, Argentina! I can't believe that I'm finally here. The flight was horrible! First, it was
overbooked. The agent had to ask for people to change their tickets. When we departed, I felt sick because I waited too
long to eat. Fortunately, the flight attendant was very helpful, and he got me a glass of water and something to eat.
When we finally arrived, it was 3:00 in the morning.
The next day, I began to explore Mar del Plata, the biggest tourist city in the country. I went to the beach first. The
beaches are much longer than the beaches in the States. In Argentina, they love the ocean so much that they have a
festival to celebrate it, called La Fiesta del Mar. In this celebration, the main event is a huge concert on the beach. The
crowds of people there are incredible! And the scenery is absolutely beautiful!
Today, I'm going on a tour of the city, and I will see the town square. I'll take lots of pictures.
Talk to you later,
Ana
