iguazu la segunda vez y otros lugares nuevos

So we are heading out in about 10 minutes to go to Iguazu, should be a good time. We are headed to Iguazu then from there we are headed to Salta and Jujuy, the most beautiful places in Argentina I am told. Then if there is time, we are going to cross the border into Chile and go see the highest, oldest volcano in South America. We will see...time is always a factor with buses since they take soooooo long. But anyway, I want her to have fun but I do think also that she is a little naive to time and things that are regularly available in the US. Kinda funny to watch a North American who has never really left the country in a new country, wonder what I was like when I first got here. I definitely have grown as a person, I feel much more independent and confident. Anyway, so when we get back I start my Portuguese class and then the semester 4 weeks later. Wow the time is flying! Anyway, what else? o I just took her on a tour in the city yesterday, I feel bad because she wants to do all these touristy things that I either have already done or dont want to do.... haha like take photos with the guards at the presidental office. O we took a tour at the presidental office, the Casa Rosada yesterday, that was pretty interesting. And then she bought some things at the market and some traditonal tango memorialabilia, however you spell that. So, its been nice having her here but also exhausting since i have to translate, plan, and basically cook and clean. As Americans we are REALLY SPOILED and expect everyone to do things for us. It was nice traveling with the Italians because we all split the bill on doing things like cooking, cleaning, planning. But anyway, I cant blame her because she is a foreigner and I have lived here for so long. Almost 8 months! wow! Anyway, we best be going. I love you all! Talk to you soon!
Love Rachel
ps Dad this is my letter to you, sorry Im a little pressed for time.
