First Weekend!

"Bam: Awesome", as Mr. Smith would say if he saw what happened on June 22 down in the Plaza de Mayo. A whole lot of bam, followed by a whole lot of awesome. My family and I arrived at the plaza as an Argentina military band was playing national anthems, a white flag song, and numerous soccer songs. After that, they showed a huge video of Argentina´s history, including their fight for independence, political presidents and dictators, significant events, and even photos of their most famous people of their country. The video was playing on a building - I think we have a video to show because you really got to see it to believe (for now, check out the pictures below). This was followed by some amazing fireworks over the plaza that were so close I could hardly hear once they were done. The whole night was an amazing experience and I am glad that I was able to go. In Spanish, the day is called el dia de la bandera (flag day), but it is also known here as el dia de BAMderAMAZING!

Hasta luego!
