class trip to Córdoba

From Wednesday to Thursday I've been on a class trip to Córdoba and Villa Giardino. At about 6.30 Wednesday morning we left Arroyito by bus. By the way, it was the first time I left Arroyito since I arrived two months ago. Driving bus with a bunch of Argentinians is fun, annoying, great and exhausting at the same time, because they talk and laugh a lot and are full of energy. After about a 2 hours drive we arrived at the 'UNC', which is an university in Córdoba. We watched a presentation about Biology and ate biscuits.

At lunch time we got something to eat really close to the uni and when everybody was finished eating we went back to the bus. When we got comfortable with some 'mate' we drove to a museum in 'Valle Hermoso'. The museum was all about physics but still really interesting and I had a lot of fun, though I understood only half of the things they explained to us. We stayed a few hours and then finally drove to the hotel. Our hotel was really big and simple but totally fine for only one night. After we brought our bags into our rooms we drank some juice and ate 'alfajores' together. Later we all met at the pool, where we had a lot of fun. After we left the water everyone got ready, we ate dinner and then met in one of our hotel rooms where we talked and had a really good time, furthermore I brought my camera so we took a lot of stupid pictures.

The next morning we went to a hotel called 'Eden Hotel' after we had breakfast. This hotel was owned by German Nazis if I understood it right, and people like Albert Einstein and Adolf Hitler came there. I'm a bit sad that I didn't understand a lot of what they told us about the hotel because I was really interested in it but I listened as good as I could. Anyways, they showed us a lot of the hotel, and we had the chance to see some of the bedrooms etc. I think we stayed there about 2 or 3 hours and after the guided tour was over we ate lunch at our hotel, which we left in the afternoon. On our way back to Arroyito we stopped in a city (I forgot the name) and stayed there a few hours. We had free time and were able to do whatever we wanted. My friends and I went to McDonalds (there are only McDonalds in bigger cities here), where I ate a KitKat McFlurry. After everyone was finished eating we explored the city and went into some shops but we didn't buy anything. Somehow we ended up in a small gaming center where we played pool:) We met the rest of the class at 6:30pm but before we went back to the bus I quickly bought new headphones, which I'm really happy about! We arrived in Arroyito at about 9pm and I was really sad that the trip was already over, because I had a lot of fun and was so glad to finally see that Argentina also has its nice parts. It was wonderful to see the 'sierras' and the lakes out of the bus windows. I hope I'll soon have the opprtunity to do a trip like this again.
In my next post I will tell you about 'el dia del estudiante', which turned me into a tomato.
