Tonight was our end-of-the-year party for English Talk and English Talk - Charla Espiritual. We had a choripaneada, cooking choripan (a typical latin american sausage) for everyone, hanging out with guitars and conversation, watching this video that Joy and I made with a slide show of photos from the year, and finishing with a late-night viewing of Toy Story 3...perhaps one of the greatest movies of 2010.

Today, being Monday, Steph prepared a wonderful lunch for her housemates. Not only was the food delicious, but great conversation and laughs were had by all. Here's the proof-our housemates Heather and JD.

Tonight after Alpha we met up with some friends to play pool (which turned into an adventure too long to write about here) and ended up spending the evening at our new friend Sam's apartment in the centro. As we were walking to find a taxi, Steph, like many times, started to trip on the uneven sidewalk. However, unlike most times, this time she was unable to catch herself, and no one else realized what was happening until Steph had fallen face first onto the pavement. Thankfully her hands broke her fall, but she lied on the ground for several seconds in a fit of giggles. A concerned friend immediately asked "Are you okay?" and then almost as immediately "Where's the camera?"

The best part was that as all this was happening a taxi pulled up beside our group and the taxi driver was already calling the ambulance to come, until one of the guys assured him all was well and Steph would walk again.

Tonight was our last event of 2010 in Luz Urbana. We had a night of Young Folklore.....we didn't really know what that meant either before the event, but it turned out to be a spectacular night of performance music. With tango singers, percussion instruments that the audience got to play, and original and cover songs, the night was a success.

Today we had our last official English Talk: Charla Espiritual of 2010 in Bar Classics. Prompt here: "Be Goofy." Diego and Javier's supposed goofiness? Questionable. Until 2011!

Today we took advantage of a local holiday and went with friends to the river in a town about 2 hours outside of Córdoba capital called Cosquín. It was so refreshing to get out of the city, breathe some fresh air and see a body of water! We definitely plan to go back again. (Photo courtesy of Heather).
