Buenos Aires, Argentina

Here are some pics of Rocky and I in Buenos Aires. As you can see, he was very popular among the students at the three Brothers of the Sacred Heart schools that we visited.

Rocky called the window seat, so he stared out at the Earth below the whole time.








This is one of the THOUSANDS of beautiful works of street art that cover the buildings of Buenos Aires.














Rocky and I hit the cobblestone streets looking for future St. Stanislaus students.












We grabbed a bite to eat at a really neat cafe overlooking a park. That sandwich is served in a hollowed-out piece of bamboo!











Here's the key to my room at the Tango Backpackers Hostel.












These are students at the school Sagrado Corazon in Lomas de Zamora, Buenos Aires. I met with Brother Mario Gassmann who is the director of this school. We talked about the St. Stanislaus ESL Camp, ate lunch with the other 5 brothers who worked at the school.









Here is one of the brothers with a group of students and Rocky.












These students LOVED getting their picture taken during recess.












The three people on the left work at another Brothers of the Sacred Heart school called Colegio Manuel Belgrano in Temperley, Buenos Aires. The brother on the left is Brother Eloy Lazaro who is the director of the school. The lady holding Rocky is the English coordinator and the brother to the right is Brother Ricardo Agustin who directs a different school called Colegio Benito Nazar in downtown Buenos Aires.





Here are some English classes at Colegio Benito Nazar.


















































Well, that's all of the pics from Argentina. I met with a lot of students and told them all about our school. They really want to come over and learn English, so maybe you'll be able to meet them in person some day.

Now, Rocky and I are off to Santiago, Chile.

Hasta Pronto!
