I started the day by going shopping. Marce took me downtown and I saw the shopping district which I actually enjoyed. It was a closed pedestrian walkway that ran about 8 blocks. I bought a bunch of souvenirs to bring back for friends and family.
We went back to Marce's school where I said farewell to all the teachers and classrooms. Marce took pictures of me with all the classrooms.
After bidding farewell to all the students in the morning and afternoon shifts, Marce took me out to eat. We went for a typical Argentinian parrillada. It is like Fogo de Chao, the Brazilian restaurant in Chicago, but much better. We were served a continuous stream of meats right off of the grill. We ate off of a cutting board that we shared. What a delicious treat!
In the evening Marce put together a WONDERFUL party. She invited all the people who I had met while in Cordoba. About 25 actually showed up. Her mother made empanadas. We sat up until 3 AM eating, drinking, laughing, and even dancing. Nestor showed me how to dance cuarteto. It's just like Mexican merengue. I got it right away. Nestor looked surprised and asked me, "Apoco eres de aqui?" (Are you from here?)
