La Plata

I had the opportunity to go the the capital of the buenos aires province to see the recognition of the publication of a book that the foundation where I intern here recently published for the government. I skipped out of my philosophy class early and caught a cab. I arrived with croissants in hand, early. I proceeded to wat all of my croissants while realizing that I am living Argentina time, although I continue to arrive early for everything and am then forced to wait for everyone else to arrive for the next 30 minutes plus. Once everyone finally got together, we headed out of a private bus for the hour drive to La Plata. We went downtown and were admitted into the capital building for the ceremony. Scioli, the infamous provincial governor, was present for the event. The building and the room were especially beautiful, and very similar to the government buildings in spain (something I've noticed about everything argentine, it's all a copy of something european or north american). Anyhow, the ceremony started almost an hour late, and lasted onely a few minutes. The other americans I was with all collectively decided later of pizza that we should start a barbie line of professional females in argentina. It's truly amazing the amount of surgery they have all endured to look the way they do. We might actually make some money!! haha! anyhow, we wandered around the city, and we made it to the famous cathedral, which was also truly a sight to see. I enjoyed my day out of the big city!!
