Andrea's Adventures in Argentina: Finally An Update

¡Hola!

Woow so much have happened since last time I wrote on here so this is gonna be a loooong post.. First, I am sorry for not posting in like a loooong time, but I have so much to do and I am so happy here, that I don't really have time to sit on the computer.
I am now sitting in the beautiful city Villa Regina in Argentina and it is such a big difference from my sweet little island in Denmark.

Let's start from the beginning. 2 o'clock the 20th of august I said goodbye to my house, my island and my dog, and we began our drive to Copenhagen. The first stop on my adventure.

When we arrived in Copenhagen we stopped by my aunt and little cousin Holger to say goodbye to them. Then we drove to the airport!

Next stop on the journey to Argentina was the whole airport thing and all the sad stuff. I said goodbye to my family (sad time) and then all us Rotary kids who was going to Argentina proceeded to the plain. Security and all that went well, no problems at all and before we knew it we were all sitting in a plane leaving Denmark.

The flight to Frankfurt went well, to be honest I can't really remember it, it seems like such a long time ago even though it's only a week.
Let's skip to when were all sitting in the plane to Buenos Aires and was very exiting (and very tired). There were like a zillion movies to choose from on the small TV screen in the seat in front of you, so of course i planned to just watch movies all the 16 hours to Argentina.. In reality I started watching 'The Place Beyond The Pines' but the sound were so bad that I turned it off after 15 minutes.. and then I fell asleep. I think I was sleeping in 10 hours and when I woke up I read a bit in my Noel Fielding book, ate some surprisingly okay plane food and then we were flying over South America!

One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen was when we flew over Buenos Aires at 6 o'clock in the morning. It's winter over here so it gets dark very early and the sun takes forever to get up in the morning. So everything was dark and you could just see all the lights from streetlights and it was so magical and I got a feeling like I might be able to make it this year. It really gave me hope to see these lights.
When we were landing in Buenos Aires the sun were getting ready to shine, so the sky was the most beautiful colour.

None of us could really understand that we finally were in Argentina, that moment was the moment we had been dreaming of for ages! We were pretty quick to get our baggage because we were in a bit of a hurry. All bags were there and everyone was in high spirit. We drove in a muchos small bus one hour trough Buenos Aires to get to the other airport, I was really tired so I have to admit I didn't really enjoy Buenos Aires as much as i could have.

Well we arrived to the second airport and I thought that I could take it all slow and maybe drink a cup of coffee (I really needed a cup of coffee) but no no no. When we were waiting in a long line to check our baggage in a man said that everyone who were going to Neuquen should check in NOW, I was the only one in our danish group who was going to Neuquen, so I was kind of alone there. Then me and two other girls got told that we had to run ad fast as we could up to our different gates. So we ran our heels away and luckily I did catch my plane.
Okay long story short, there were crazy lot of turbulence and I was sure I was going to die and then I didn't die and win win I was in Neuquen... alive.
I don't really know why I didn't guess that it was cold, now that it was winter in Argentina.. but it was, it really was. I was the first one on the plane to step outside. And of course the moment I step out on the plane staircase my skirt flew up and I almost fell right back into the plane, the wind is really wild down here. With a suitcase in one hand and both a normal bag and a camera bag in the other I had no chance of getting my skirt down again. 'It's okay' I thought 'at least my host family can't see me' wrong again Andrea, yes the airport has a big glass wall and yes that was my host family's first impression of me..

Okay.. wow.. this is a really long post. But my auntm my uncle and three Rotary people were waiting for me with a BIG yellow sign saying "Bienvenida Andrea" and they were soo sweet (and non-english talking) and we drove through Neuquen to get to my aiunt and uncles house, and it was fantastic, it was not at all what I expected, but I love it!

Now I am with my family, Carrasco in a beautiful house and they are the sweetest people you could imagine, I am so so so happy that they are my family down here.

I started school this monday and it is the best school I could ever imagine. On my first day the school gave me a BIG flower bouquet and they had made a T-Shirt with "I love Villa Regina" and there were a big sign with "Bienvenida Andrea" and I was just so happy!

My class is the sweetest and I have already got lots of new friends and my days are so full of birthdays, ice cream-eating and going to the disco.
I am just gonna put some photos here, because this post is turning out to be a whole novel!
