Once again, it's a rainy sunday so I decided to spend it at the Sheraton using their fast internet. The past week has been quite interesting. Our group hit some speed bumps with the project and our boss, so we took a couple of days off to have some meeting together to sort some stuff out (saying more than that is a loooong story). The good news is we're all excited about the work again and are going to stick it out until the end. It was also two of the hottest days we've had here, somewhere between 95-100 degrees. And humid. So it was nice to be in the field for a couple days. Today, as I said is cold and rainy, which is such a nice change. It feels so nice to be able to wear pants again.

Anyways, as I'm sure some of you reading this have heard that the Twilight sequel New Moon came out on friday. My friend Angelica and I were dying to see it, so we made a plan. Friday we worked the morning shift, ran the 3km back to our place, hopped on a couple of buses and went to Brazil to their movie theater (in a nice shopping mall no less), only to find out it was SOLD OUT. In a tiny city of Foz do Iguazu, this movie was sold out. So we walked around a bit, got some chinese food, which does not exist on my side of the falls, and returned to Argentina. We did the exact same thing the next day. We bought tickets the previous day and went all the way back to Brazil. I can't explain how awesome it felt to be in a real movie theater. It was super exciting. The teenage girls actually screamed at some parts. The movie wasn't horrible so it was overall a very good adventure. So moral of the story is I went into an entirely different country to see this movie (Lua Nova in Portuguese). It luckily was in English with portuguese subtitles. I also was able to get a Subway sandwich!!! The mall's food court had one and they were exactly the same as in the states. Oh my god, I was in heaven. So those have been my adventures for the past week. I also saw an armadillo the other night, very odd creatures.
