Editor's note: Thanks to all the students who shared their experiences on traveling and learning. "Semester Abroad" is being discontinued.

Argentina: "No Salió"

Posted by Riana Hensel at 05:26 PM

First order of business: Tierra Santa, the religious theme park of Buenos Aires. It was amazing: the Last Supper with moving statues, and the creation scene with moving animals and (naked) Adam and Eve. There was a Jesus statue that resurrected on the half hour, accompanied by lovely music. Quote of the day: "no salió" ("he didn't come out!"), in reference to the resurrecting Jesus, who was off schedule the day we went, taking tourists by surprise.
