As we are about to enter the last month of our time here, this week we checked a few items off the bucket list. First, rock climbing, with a friend from the university who represented team USA. She invited us into her world, we gave it our all, and happily watched her effortlessly jump up the wall. Next, I accompanied Mallory as she got a tattoo. I experienced the process for the first time and more so with the friendly Argentine artist. Lastly, we went to the Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo (National Museum of Decorative Arts), a mansion full of sculptures, tapestries, and paintings.<\/p>\n

This past weekend we had volunteer service for our course Urban Inequalities in Latin America<\/em>. We worked with the nonprofit organization M\u00f3dulo Sanitario to build bathrooms for families that need them. I got some much-needed practice drilling, hammering, sawing, and painting. It was such a beautiful experience, seeing a lovely family make the most of their situation and being able to make it better. As much as I am enjoying myself here, I am missing some monumental occasions at home. Congratulations to my sister Kaitlyn on graduating college and Happy 22nd Birthday Angel!<\/p>\n
