Visit to the Argentine Embassy

On Friday, November 13, Professor Dubois arranged for us to meet at the Argentine Embassy.

Located in downtown DC, the embassy is located only a few blocks from the Dupont metro stop. As we gathered outside of the embassy, which is barely visable due to the scaffolding covering most of the exterior, we weren't 100% sure what to expect during our meeting. However, after entering through the large wooden doors and passing through somewhat of a security checkpoint, we were greeted by Counselor Gustavo Lunazzi, who then presented us with a valuable overview of the country. We took a deeper look the Argentine economy and the movement in the past few years, discussed what current residents think of the female president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and of course a little insight about life in BA.
