Hello everyone again!!! This blog is long overdue...but I really want you guys to see these photos. Bariloche was beautiful!! It reminded me of a little mountain ski town in Colorado. I felt like I was in Breckenridge, except everything was WAY cheaper and everyone was speaking Spanish.

We went during Semana Santa (Holy Week, right before Easter), which is a religious holiday here in Argentina...but for us it was Spring Break since there were no classes...so we definitely took advantage of it.

Highlights: (since the trip was so long ago...the details are fading)

After a 20 hour bus ride...(which was wild) we arrived in Bariloche. The food was decent and they played good movies.

We were so active on our Spring Break!! We went hiking, horseback riding (for 4 hours..imagine how sore my rear end was), ziplining through the forest, and kayaking. We saw some of the most amazing scenery and the weather was great the whole time we were there. It was really hard to get back on the bus after this relaxing vacation!
