Highly impactful

This trip is super important for Americans, especially those unfamiliar with the history of the US in Latin America (as I was). It was illuminating, not just about Argentina's last dictatorship, but similar occurrences in other Latin American countries, as well as the history and sociology of the country itself (i.e. the lack of black Argentinians, marginalization of indigenous groups, etc). This trip is an opportunity to learn history, grow as your wrestle with difficult truths, and have sooooo many empanadas! Global positioning is also something we had to confront as Americans, so it stretched us (me) in that way as well. I highly recommend it. I'm still writing about our topics and using my Spanish. I actually plan to return again and learn more.

Quick tip: the trip will be much more rich if you really brush up on your Spanish before hand.
