One week left!


Hello! What a past few days I've had. Thanksgiving turned out great ( I posted the pic of the whole group). I will slowly start to add pictures from the whole ordeal. We starting cooking at 4:30 and ate at about 9:30. Natalie's host mom, dad, sister, and sister's boyfriend all ate. Her host parents seemed to like most everything, but her host sister and the boyfriend didn't try much. They kept saying everything was so "raro" and "distinto". They could not get over how many different types of food was in the stuffing: bread, sausage, apples, and sage??? Haha, it was funny. Krysia made a homemade pumpkin pie from scratch for the first time. Katie Rae made an apple pie. Mary was in charge of stuffing, and I was official dish washer! haha. It turned out really well.
Friday was Christy's 21st birthday, so we spent the day at the spas in Cachueata. It was a lot of fun! It was colder than when I went with the family, but it made the water feel warmer. We were prunes by the end of the day. Saturday we went to the Zuccardi party & we felt like such grown ups! It was a charity auction & there were 4 other wineries there with tasting tables. There was live music, too. Katie Rae's host mom bid on a few things and won, and we jokingly bid on a few selections of wine on the first bids. We almost cut it close one time, but luckily someone bid one higher. haha.
Tomorrow we are going on our very last wine tour extravaganza. Salentein is supposed to be the best winery in Argentina, so we figured we couldn't be here and not see it. It's pretty far out, but I called the lady we did our wine tours with when mom and dad were here, and she is cutting us a nice deal. Tomorrow will be a full day! I can't believe one week from now I will be frantically packing up my room and saying good-bye to Liliana. It's really hard to believe.
SEE YOU GUYS SOON!
