Rosario

So here i am in my hotel in rosario. this is supposed to be our trip to "rural" argentina, but i thought just in case i would bring my laptop, in case there is wireless--well the hotel that we're staying in has wireless.

we took a public bus this morning to rosario. it was a double decker bus, probably 75% students on my program. the ride was only about 4 hrs, it was fun. when we got here we went to a HUGE buffet restaurant for lunch.

after lunch we went to an agricultural university. we spent the afternoon learning about how the economic development policies affected the rural and agricultural regions of argentina.

tomorrow we are going on our "rural homestay" for a few days. we are leaving the hotel first thing in the morning, and then beyond that im a little foggy on the details...

i think that we are going to be paired up with another student on our program, and we are going to live with a family until thursday morning. while we are there we are going to participate in their family just like anyone else--it sounds like we'll be doing farmwork during the day, and im not really sure what else...im imagining simple life meets post neoliberal argentina... i should come home with a few stories...
