Athena - Argentina- Sunday in Palermo

My roommate and I just got back from watching a movie (in Spanish of course) and it was quite the experience. We saw a comedy called La Corazon de Leon (The Heart of Leon). Evidently Sunday evenings are the most popular day of the week to go to the movies so the place was packed! We had to get there 2 hours early to buy our tickets…and when you buy the tickets here you get assigned seats. The ushers actually walk you to your seat in the theater.  At any rate, the movie was very good, thought it was hard for me to follow sometimes. The rest of the audience seemed to enjoy it very much.

I’m (mostly) loving how every experience is something different here, even something as simple as going to the movies. It seems like everything I do, or try to do, is some mini-adventure. Guess I’ll have to get used to a lot of things not going as planned. This morning I tried to find a park that is good for running and I got lost on the way there. Then I got lost on the way back. I still got a good workout in though, especially considering all of the extra walking I did. I think I’ll try and find the park again tomorrow.

This was my first Sunday without football. Yes, I’m very much going through withdrawal. It’s weird to not spend most of the day watching football. Congrats to the Lions for winning! I’m still sad about Michigan’s loss yesterday.  I did catch some tennis & rugby on TV while I was at a coffee shop so I guess that will have to do.  And I've never been so happy to watch highlights online!

That’s all for now. Classes start next week.
