Home!

I wanted to title this post "there's no place like home"  but while abroad i tend to hear it way too often.  I guess The Wizard of Oz is the only connection 99% of the world has to Kansas...



Map of some of the city-the red balloon is where we live



Anyhow, we found a place to live! It's in a district called Palermo.  Palermo is a super chic neighborhood in Buenos Aires with lots of little sidewalk cafes and boutique kind of shops.  We live only about 6 blocks from the metro-which is so so helpful!  We currently live with two Colombian girls and an American.  I believe in the next week or so a German guy will be moving in.  It's SO nice to live with other Spanish speakers-the American girl is basically fluent in Spanish, which is super nice!




the bed and bedroom

 

Our room is honestly so cool!  It's nice and spacious and has a little "breakfast nook"  if you will.  What they did is "remodel" the apartment by putting up a wall between the dining room and the living room and made the living room our bedroom...if that makes any sense.  I put remodel in quotes because the wall they put up is more like a small partition.  It makes for a great room though.  Here are some pictures to help explain. 



Our breakfast nook



 It's still a little cold here (coming out of winter) so during the day it's nice to open the windows, but at night we turn on the heater. 

The kitchen is great, stocked with all the pots and pans we could need.  We (really unfortunately) just missed a cook living here.  He moved out the day we moved in.  We're hoping he comes back around to hang out...
