Los Arboles Estan Llorando

Hoy es nuestra ultima dia en el ciudad de Buenos Aires! Let´s first recap our plane ride home... After posting our last blog we sat outside and played cards while listening to some Argentine reggae. Our cab was to come around 7 for our 930 flight. The cab arrived a bit early, but no worries we figured there might be a crowd of people leaving the Natural Wonder. to our surprise we were two of 7 people in the entire airport. We proceeded to the check in line (of 3 people) and looked up in disbelief to the departure screen. The flight was delayed until 12:30am! We had to confirm that this was actully happening, so we asked about the reason for the delay as we checked in. The ticketing agent said there was a ¨Slight Strike¨ going on in the Bs.As. Aeroparque!

It was a very active morning with all kinds of boats loading up. We heard that 10 years ago there was only about 400 tour boats and now there are a few thousand! We headed around punta campanella, and along the coast to Amalfi, stopping to view some private islands, Li Galli Islands, one which looks like a mermaid from the air and is the source of the Odyssey myth:  The Sirens, (mermaids) would seduce the sailors with their voices and make them crash (aka strong winds). In the Odyssey, the crew plugged their ears with beeswax, so they could list...

Computer Science classes

This is my second computer science class at Mary Washington. I took Computer Science last year because I thought it would be good to learn what was going on inside the computer and how the parts form together to make a program. I learned a lot and was interested but just not enough to continue on with the studies. Some of my friends had recommended this class and again I wanted to understand just how the internet worked "behind the scenes." So far it has been interesting since I have never heard of blogs until the first day of class. I can see now why it is a growing trend! Are there any other computer science classes that you recommend?
