Pizza!
Pizza is a popular element in the Argentine cuisine, especially in Buenos Aires, where Italian influence is highly present. Most places don't add tomato sauce to their pizza, I kno
w! And it wasn't until about 3 weeks in BA that I learned some places use pepporoni, which they call linguiza? (I'll have to verify asap). I was so excited! However, pizaa without tomato sauce is pretty yummy I have to say. Here is a Napoleano* Pizza, a friend and I ordered in Mendoza. Salami, cheese, pepper flakes and olives. Since Mendoza I like olives and wine. After all the wineries and olive distilleries!
My First Blog Entry - Buenos Aires Intro
Hey everyone!
So this is my first blog entry -ever! haha. It´s kind of late, but better late than never. So it might not be the best blog you´ve read, but I´ll get there.
As some of you know, I´ve been studying abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for the past TWO months. I cannot believe how FAST time flies when you are having fun! I am loving every moment, and living it up as best as I can! I am living with a host family, a lady in her early sixties and her 19 year old daughter, and their pet dog Lola -who loves to sit on my bed. Thankfully the family and I get along so well, and so far, I am really satisfied with my housing situation. I love that my host mom cooks authentic Argentine food every night, and especially that she is a really good cook. It makes up for the little Argentine food I eat for lunch. Most cafe's/restaurant's have little variety (or food that I like) and sometimes I settle for a ham and cheese sandwhich (aka pibete) or BK and McD´s. I know bad. But what can I say? It´s yummy and cheap, not to mention, great for my health! But hey, I do-do LOTS of walking in Buenos Aires.
As for classes, let´s just say ¨studying¨in Buenos Aires is just an excuse for a great time in another country. :)
Hasta pronto!
¨Suerte¨
