Project 365, Day 15

Day: I didn't have school because the new study abroad kids arrived this past Saturday, so today they had to take their placement tests which meant no class! I stayed home for most of the day, but went to La Bomba de Tiempo again just like last Monday. And just like last Monday, it was so much fun. The 14 percussionists are amazingly talented.

"Feeling the palpable, pulsing energy of everyone around you. Feeling your heart rate change with the beat of the drums. Sharing the experience with wonderful people. Pure magic."

Project 365, Day 8

Day: (yesterday was crazy, so here's the post that should've been!) Here's what happened- After school, I took the subway downtown to transfer some money (Oh- if you ever happen to be in a foreign country, use Xoom! It has a way better transfer rate and it's super easy; you will save so much money. For example, lots of people here transferred US dollars to Argentine pesos for 5 pesos to the dollar, while Xoom's exchange rate is 7 pesos to the dollar. Crazy), then headed home quickly to change and eat, and then go to La Bomba de Tiempo. This is a drum show held every Monday night from 8-10 p.m. It was so much fun! After the show, we went to a club where they played more music similar to what we heard played live at the concert.

There you have it! Perfect night full of music and dancing. I'm going to miss this when I'm back in the States where there is literally nothing to do except to make a midnight Kroger run to redbox a movie and get popcorn and ice cream. Which I mean, don't get me wrong, that's a pretty awesome time too.

Chao!
