This blog is where I will be recording my experiences as I spend 5 weeks in Argentina through a Fulbright Hays Seminar Abroad Scholarship. This scholarship is given to 16 select teachers from all over the country. While traveling in Argentina I will be learning about current and past history, culture, geographical regions, traditions, educational systems, as well as taking in a lot of plants and animals.

Austin: The pre-departure orientation

I am now in Austin getting all of the background information from Professors in Latin America studies. The history of Argentina as a country is extremely complex and at times quite violent. Tomorrow we learn about womens rights history and then Saturday will bring the over night flight to BA. So for now we are headed to a Texas tradition of TexMex food with margaritas, although I'll make mine non-alcoholic. The UT in Austin has been very welcoming and I would love to come back here when I have more time. I'm increxibly tired and hopefully will have a better night sleep tonight.
