We went to a drum circle show on Monday. There were probably about 2000 people there in this big outdoor theater and about 15 people on stage with all sorts of percussion instruments. Obviously I loved it. I'll post a short video below, but you can find tons of them on youtube. Search "La bomba de tiempo". After the show we went across town to San Telmo to meet our friend's cousin. About 150 people showed up with us- there was a bar crawl that night. The Puerta Roja probably doesnt want to see another American again. Highlight of the night- meeting a Colombian guy named Julian wearing a Yankee hat.
Besides school we've just been hanging, doing homework :(, and apartment hunting. We found one place that we're hoping to get that is huge and has a view of the entire city, the river, a horsetrack and polo fields, and you can even see Uruguay from the balcony because its one of the taller buildings in the city. Its really incredible.
We've made some friends from class and hung out with them a bunch. The French kids are ok, very French if you know what I mean. There's a guy from Torin, a couple people from Norway and Sweden and Amsterdam, and 2 more from the US.
I'm out of things to say, mas photos!
Cool view of the residential area in Colonia.
You can see the church above the trees to the top right.

Out with the Frenchies
That video of La bomba is taking forever, so just youtube it.
Plans for the week: Class, homework, explore new stuff (The Rosedal, Museum of Fine Arts, the zoo, etc.), Chinese New Year tomorrow, ???. Talk to you soon.
