¨Rosario, Argentina is one of the most underrated cities in Argentina...Seated on a flood plain, when it rains heavily the streets and sidewalks flood and the people will take of their shoes and roll up their pants to get around.¨-Lonely Planet Guide to Argentina (gracias Melissa Berg!)
The skies cracked and sparked as we sat in Grammer Nivel Cuatro yesterday morning.
¨Trueno!¨our teacher shivered as she pointed out the word for thunder.
By the time we were done with school it had been pouring rain for hours. We looked like ballerinas along the sidewalks, spinning and hopping to avoid the 6 inch deep water.
I live 12 blocks from la facultad, and there were no cabs available, so I turned up my ipod, tightened my rain jacket, and danced my way home.
Rain is still expected this weekend in Rosario, so Devin and I are packing up, kissing our host families goodbye, and heading for higher ground.
Mendoza here we come.

ReplyDeleteLizzie,
ReplyDeleteAs an Oregonian you should be used to the rain! But I loved the imagery of dancing and hopping your way home - fabulous. Can't wait to read more about your trip. Keep having a wonderful time and looking at the brighter side of life.
