Argentina Day 2

I was very excited for today because I was going to see a soccer team. Argentina has their own soccer team that they are very proud of because they have won the World Cup before. For breakfast we did not eat much, because in Argentina, people normally do not have large breakfasts, so we only had toast and orange juice. Before I went to the soccer game, I went into town to buy a jersey for their amazing player, Lionel Messi. After I was all done, I headed into the soccer stadium. It was a huge stadium and it was packed with Argentina fans. It was a great game that was very close up until the end, but Argentina ended up winning, so we all went back home to celebrate. When we got back home we ate a huge celebratory dinner, and all of it was home made by the mother. She made Locro, which is a rich stew of meat and vegetables, very popular throughout Argentina. The main ingredients are beef, pork, corn, beans and yellow pumpkin. She also prepared a dish called Empanadas, which are delicious pastries filled with a variety of both meat and vegetables.They are extremely popular and consumed throughout the country, with fillings and cooking methods varying throughout the different regions.
