Visas (parte 1)

So I don't think that last post ended up posting correctly from my phone but at least I had it all done to post, and I'm writing another one for right now. This one will be short though. After I got home from school yesterday, I went for long walk with Betty and Lorendra (somehow I'm still not sure about that name, they just say it so fast). We went to a really cool park/ outdoor recreation area that will be great to take walks in when it gets a little cooler, which i think it will soon. Then we went to the carniceria (meat shop) which was smaller than I expected it to be. It just had a few pieces of meat but they all looked super fresh, so that was good. And then I had the beef we had just bought for dinner. It is an interesting way of life to just take a stroll to the meat shop and then cook that for dinner.

Raw cow meat: Beef

Today I went to class, which started at 9 and I did not quite make it on time. And after lunch we went to the center to the Migraciones Office for residency visas which was an interesting experience for both us an them I think. First for the city bus we took there, luckily at 2 the buses are not full because they just piled all 20 of us on one public bus and we rode the hour into downtown. And walked in a single file line to the office, I'm sure we looked hilarious. But they finger printed me and wrote down my cell number and that was that.

Then I went to this mall called Dinosaurio (dinosaur) which was super cool. It was one of those mall supermarket combination things. I was trying to buy a ticket for a concert there but I completely cannot follow the directions of my host family. I have not yet successfully followed directions they have given me. Its pretty bad. But the mall was awesome to that was fun to walk around. And of course like a tourist I took pictures of it.

There was an ice rink

and a game center

They even had ramen though it was really expensive 

Also, I finally got some ice cream! I have been craving ice cream since I got here and it was so good: Dulce de Leche con Grancitos (like caramel with chocolate chips).

Tomorrow we go to the Jesuit Missions, it will be a long day I think.
