We began our day by taking taxis to the Fulbright office. There we met all of the people we had been in contact with through the internet. Norma Gonzalez spoke to us at length about the state of education in Argentina. She said that she wasn't too concerned about us spending so much time in the schools. She was more interested in us speaking with community members, getting the word out about the importance of funding education.
After hearing presentations about Fulbright in Argentina each member of the group from the USA was asked to give a short introduction. We took group pictures and were then left on our own for lunch.
Since we were in the area where I had stayed with Lois, I knew some places to eat. I led the group to Cumana, a criollo (traditional Argentinian food) restaurant. Everybody seemed to be quite pleased with the choice after we ate.
At 4:00 PM a van picked us up at the hotel and took us to the airport. We flew from Buenos Aires to Cordoba. When we got to Cordoba, Marcela and her family were waiting to welcome me. That was very nice of them since I won't be staying with them until tomorrow.
Another van and Marisol from Fulbright took us to our next hotel, Hotel de la Canada. We went out for cena at a restaurant called La Nieta de la Pancha. It served nuveau Argentinian food in a bohemian atmosphere. It was great.
