Greetings from from Mar del Plata! Locals call it "Mardel," and it is located six hours south of Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires. Mardel is known as the surf capital of the country!

It has been fun sharing my adventures in Argentina with your class. I'm excited to keep learning about this country, and I hope you are, too!

Mate (pronounced mah-teh) is the national beverage of Argentina. It is made by steeping leaves of yerba mate in hot water. Mate contains caffeine, and people here commonly drink it in the afternoon.
