Movin on Up

This is the lunch of a woman with a schedule. I finally have four classes and all of their real hours and locations. Music, literature, regional development, and Spanish. Two classes at the local, public university (Universidad Nacional de Cuyo) and two classes with the program.

Dinner was a DIY salad. I opted for everything.

Blurry canned tuna. mmm. 

I've been craving churros and haven't told anyone. But somehow my host mom knew. She came into my room before dinner and said we were going out for churros. I wanted to ask if we'd be eating dinner before or after, but I just went with the flow. Turns out the churros with dulce de leche were dinner. So, I ate three churros at Churrico (apparently the best place to go for churros in Mendoza, it's been around for 45 years) for dinner from 9:30PM-11:30PM with two sixty-something year olds. This kinda stuff doesn't casually happen in the U.S.

Mendoza

Finally in Mendoza with my host family!! I'm living with a woman named Carmen in a centrally located apartment with a view of the Andes. I felt weird taking a bunch of pictures of food when we were still getting to know each other, but I managed to snag one. I will be taking more pictures of the food I am served soon. Esta muy bien.

Zucchini tart, pizza with whole green olives, empanada with beef and egg. I've been eating more salad and less bread/meat lately because if I don't they will have to roll me out of Argentina. I made this plate for dinner when I was still a noob.

I ran into these medias lunas when I went to the quiosco to buy credit for my new cell phone. Not sure what the flat bread is on the left.
