Day 1, the night to start it all off

The first day went very well. After a long day of travel we were all really happy and relieved to be at the hotel and away from the cramped seats of the airplane. After coming to our hotel, Pestana, we were greeted with unique orange juice, sandwiches, and pastries which apparently tasted like angels dancing on your tongue according to Professor Srdan. After refreshments we went to an orientation at which we met our guides Sophie and Juan. They were very helpful and educational in regards to where and what we should do and should not do. Shortly after the orientation we all checked into our rooms and finally freshened up. Afterwards everyone went their separate ways. During our free time we roamed around downtown Buenos Aires and saw many architectural buildings and monuments. There was also a need for Argentine pesos so we readily made our way to the bank where it could be exchanged. We also had the opportunity to explore nearby restaurants as well as the Pacifico mall. The downtown areas seemed to very busy with people eating, roaming, and shopping. Overall, it was a very fun experience. After our free time we returned to the hotel and freshened up a little more and relaxed before going out to our Italian restaurant for dinner. Outside the restaurant was another experience because there were street tango dancers whom were entertaining people by the water. We all dressed up in nice clothes and were treated to a nice three course meal of appetizers, an entree, and dessert as well as some local drinks. The experience was very fun and it was very pleasant being with the group as whole. After dinner we returned to the hotel via bus and everyone dispersed on their own (in groups of course) and explored the city to see what it was like during night time. All in all, the first day was major success and we were all able to create and (hopefully) remember unforgettable times.
