Happy friday readers! Next friday (technically early saturday morning) I am leaving Mexico which is a sentence I can’t believe I just typed. We’re going to have to process that somewhere else. But for now, some reads. One of my favorite foodbloggers, the Amateur Gourmet (and the first food blog I followed back in 2008 or 9) went to Germany as part of a Eurotrip … Continue reading Reading the internet, week 6
I’m back (after almost two weeks in America). I didn’t want to let this blog go without posts about my final two trips, which I count as one epic journey. I also only had 5 hours in between them during which I swapped my bathing suits for sweaters and took a quick shower. First, let’s throw it back to thanksgiving, almost a month ago, in … Continue reading Final Trips part 1: Colonia and Punta Del Este, Uruguay
I’m leaving for the airport in a little over an hour, provided all of my suitcases close. I really can’t analyze this semester at all in this moment but just wanted to write something to say thank you to everyone who made this possible. Buenos Aires is not an easy place to live but that’s what I loved about it. So much of my US … Continue reading Chao Gracias
Hey twitfam, The last few days have been crazy with a capital C but so much fun. I also have been planning to write this post for days but am suddenly ridiculously busy so here it is. Last thursday, my afternoon class at UBA was canceled because the facultad (department/campus) was taken (tomado) by the students because they were unhappy with the selection of the … Continue reading Clubs and Cordoba and Cuestablanca (etc.)

Hi twitfam, I’m back and feeling 100% finally! I felt good starting on Wednesday/thursday and it’s been so wonderful to get back into real life. The title of this post means, Here too the nation grows, which is a sign that you see anywhere outside of Buenos Aires. It’s this weird affirmation that though this one area has the most people and money and power, … Continue reading Aqui También La Nacion Crece (and the rest of the week)
Hey twitfam, I’m writing this post for all of you and also as a reminder to myself that my longest days at Penn are nothing. You hear that second semester thesis writing really busy Abigail? YOU CAN DO IT Today I left the house at 7 am and headed to Barracas, a “bad” neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Last night the entire family came over minutes … Continue reading Long Days and a Week in the Life
(title comes from the Argentine chocolate brand Cofler, which my name always gets mistaken for.) My family left Argentina last Monday after 8 crazy days. We covered a lot of ground and I had a wonderful time. As my mom noted, the lack of wifi/smartphones/a super on the go culture in Argentina meant long meals, 7 pm afternoon coffee stops and lots of real conversation. … Continue reading #socofler and so much more
(Title obviously borrowed from Oprah: Where there’s no struggle, there’s no strength) This is a completely melodramatic post but today was really stressful and I wanted to share with my twitfam. Basically, I realized I have to change around my schedule a bunch because my history class that I thought met twice a week actually has been meeting three times a week. The third time … Continue reading No Struggle, No Strength
Hi everyone, Apologies for the delays in posting but I just spent the weekend in Iguazú and can’t wait to tell you about it. I last posted on tuesday, I believe, so a quick update of what happened since then is in order. Wednesday was the busiest day: I went to three classes at three universities, arriving home an hour before the entire family came … Continue reading Iguazú Falls: A quick trip to Paradise
