            The first place i went to in Argentina was Cordoba. It was very beautiful with lots of plants and people and AMAZING FOOD! Assosiated football is the most popular sport in Cordoba, as well as in argentina. I got to play soccer against paylay. I then went to Emilio Caraffa, a musium in Cordoba with Thomas and Matt. Then we went to our hotel the Sheraton Cordoba Hotel and went to bed with great planes in store for the next day.

       
          The next day we went to Plaza De Mayo. Its origins can be traced back to Juan de Garya's foundation of Buenos Aires itself, in 1580. Some of its surroundings are Casa Rosada, Metropaliton cathedral of Buenos Aires, and probably the most famous, May Pyramid or also known as Piramide de Mayo in Spanish. It is the oldest monument in Buenos Aires. We went to most of those and had  lots of fun. My favorite was Casa Rosada. The Plaza de Mayo has always been the focal point of political life in Buenos Aires. Its current name commemorates the May Revolution of 1810, which started the process towards the country's independence from Spain in 1816. That night we decided to camp out so we bought some tints and sleeping bags and, of course, marshmallows, and found a camp spot. The next day, the last day, we had some big planes in store.

            We woke up the next day and we were going to go to Pinamar, mostly for the beach. Two facts set Pinamar apart from most of the other Atlantic Ocean beach cities: it is a planned city with a very strict building code, and it has been artificially turned from wild sand dunes into a forest (mostly of pine trees, which explains the "pina" in the name). The beach was beautiful. The sand, white as snow, and super soft. The city was beautiful with lots beautiful trees. We went to the beach and went surfing. Thomas was bad at it but me and matt were good, because we are from California . The city had  great architecture. That was our last day. We went to our hotel and we thought about all the fun times. But we had to fly away the next day.

           The next day we woke up at 7 a.m. Our plane took off at around 10 so we had to get ready. It was 9 when we got to the airport. We checked our bags in and got on the plane. The plane ride was 8 hours long. The whole time we talked about the trip. As you can see we had a great time. We will remember this for the rest of our lives.
