First Night.....

So I have officially spent my first night in Argentina and I slept like a baby. The bus ride from the Buenos Aires airport was good except for I realized that I get a bit of ¨stage frieght¨when trying to talk in spanish. About 10 minutes after every conversation I have I realized what someone was trying to say....or what I should have said....in spanish. Luckily Argentinians are very friendly and helpful and are willing to except by non verbal communication and miscellaneous words. I just need to start thinking in spanish. I haven´t seen much of Rosario so far. I went to a large grocery store called Coto last night where I bought a box or local Malbec, some empanadas and some Nutrogena Face cream....it all came to a grand total of a little less than 10 U.S. dollars. The wine was $1.25 usd! Crazy. Then I spent a nice relaxing evening looking over Rosario Tourist info and maps and watching Top Chef, in spanish!
Also last night I realized that it is weird to have no access to a phone. When I got in I wanted to call or text someone but I couldn´t. I didn´t realize how much I rely on it until now. It will be good for me and the old cell phone to take a ¨break¨ so that we can re-evaluate our relationship. I have until 5 today to do some relaxing or exploring before I have to go meet my host family. As far as I know they speak little to no english, and even if they do they are encouraged not to use it.....This should be interesting! Well off to get some café, I will write again when I can!
