Exploring Belgrano, Buenos Aires

We began today at the API center – here is our Buenos Aires resident director with my colleague Karen:

More API center…

After our time at the API Center, we took the bus over to the Universidad de Belgrano:

Here’s a view I snapped from inside the elevator at Belgrano:

And the view from the cafeteria:

We took a mini tour of the building, which ended around the time our students got out of class. Running into our students for the first time with Carmen was perhaps one of the highlights of the day. Prior to this interaction, I knew the students appreciated having an on-site resident director; however, within a matter of moments, it became quite clear how much our students love love love Carmen. Love it!

After leaving Belgrano, Karen and I decided to familiarize ourself with the neighborhood around the school:

Such a beautiful neighborhood – full of trees, museums, parks, incredible architecture…

Ay.

Finalmente, it was time for dinner! I don’t think I can say it enough, but man oh man, the meals in Buenos Aires seem to keep getting better and better. Here’s my dinner:

Provecho!

Learning To Cook In Barcelona

Remember our recent post with food-inspired travel writing prompts?

Well, you’ll want to keep these handy when studying abroad with API – case in point: these photos from our API Barcelona students’ cooking class!

Visiting The Aran Islands

While our Barcelona students were on an API excursion to Mallorca, our Cork students were on their API excursion to explore the Aran Islands!

During this excursion, our Cork students visited the biggest of the Aran Islands, “Inis Mór” (“Inish Moor”) Island  (Big Island). Here’s a map in the event you’re curious:

A = Cork
B = Aran Islands

It appears they had a wonderful trip – check out their adventure in the photos below!
