Rotary Exchange Year in Argentina Dee spent the last school year in Argentina. She lived in the province of Buenos Aires, but about 2-3 hours drive from the capital in a small town.
Dee attended a small, private Catholic school outside of town. The students in her class (only about 20 in her grade) stayed in the same classroom all day, and the teachers came to the room to teach their subject. She made many friends and played soccer on a team. She lived with 2 different families. The first family had older daughters, and the second family had 10- and 15-year-old daughters. Argentina is a very diverse country geographically, and Dee had the opportunity to take 2 extended trips to the north and south of the country. Argentina is known for its cattle, and beef is a common food. Dee particularly liked dulce de leche-filled cookies, mate (a type of tea), and empanadas. |
