Over spring break I went to Buenos Aires, Argentina with 30 of my high school spanish classmates. We explored around the city and went into the suburbs of El Tigre, a town about an hour outside of the city. Me and my friend Max stayed in Belgrano, a neighborhood in Buenos Aires. We took the Subte (the subway system) everyday to get to school and in addition walked around 50 blocks a day, so we got a great feel for what it was really like to live there. South America is incredible and I'd love to go back. Here are some photos I took during my two week stay...
