Port Washington

Yesterday we arrive to this beatiful city. It's our first city without Diego (we miss you friend), but the GSE Team could do the presentation for this Rotary Club without any probem. Tonight we enjoyed the dinner with people from this club and we passed a great time..

West Allis!

We enjoyed three days with the wonderful people from the Rotary Club of West Allis. They are very special and we want to say thanks to all the people who are involved in this Club. We needed to send Diego to Argentina, so we are very sad about this, but the people for the club made this possible. Special thanks to Ann and Nancy!!

Here are some pictures from our last weekend, it was a special sports weekend, we visited teh Miller Park and the Bradley Center to see the NBA Game between the Bucks and the Miami Heat.

Oconomowoc!!

Aunque suene gracioso, ese es el nuevo destino de este grupo de IGE, es una ciudad de unos 20000 habitantes, localizada en medio del Estado, entre las ciudades de Madison y Milwaukee. Cuenta la historia que el origen de la ciudad proviene de una leyenda, en la que unos indios iban andando desde Madison hasta Milwaukee, y uno de ellos se frenó en este lugar, y dijo a otro: "I can't no more walk", que si lo pronunciamos en inglés y rápido sería mas o menos "aiconomowoc", jajaja. Chiste para nuestra gente. Estamos pasándola excelente, estos días conocimos a Otto Randy, presidente del Club y personaje aquí. En esta foto figura el grupo junto a él en el intercambio de banderines realizado el día de hoy..

The GSE Team at the District Conference!



This morning, the GSE Team from Argentina made an special presentation at the District Conference. The Auditórium was full of people who had been very interested to know as much as possible about our country. We prepared a typical dance about our country, one of our "chacarera". We are very proud about our origins, and made our presentation and have lunch with our typical clothes..

We want to thanks to all the Organization from the District Conference, they treat us in an excellent way. We are now in a beatiful hotel near to the Lake Geneva, enjoying the weekend..

Nueva Ciudad

Queremos decirles a todas nuestras familias y amigos que hoy nos mudamos a Sheboygan. Es una ciudad con alma de pueblo, muy pintoresca ubicada al norte de Milwaukee. La gente aquí está siendo muy cálida y considerada. La estamos pasando genial, no se preocupen por nosotros. Esperamos seguir así y que pare la lluvia! Jaja.

Our Team Leader! We are very proud of him..

Greeting!!


Today is Saturday, March 16th, after lots of meetings we decided to create this blog, where we are going to publish everything relationed with our trip to Wisconsin.

We're very excited to start this huge experience, we prepared two presentations, completed lot of papers, got our uniforms, and made presents and prepared some surprises for the people who will help us while we stay in USA.

During our previous meetings, we have time to know us, because we have never seen each other after the decision to make us part of this trip. Now, we can say that we conform a great group, where the laughs and jokes are present anytime.

We want to thanks all the Rotary Clubs involved this, even in Argentina and Wisconsin. They made it's possible and their help and support are very important for us.

For the families who will accommodate us, we want to tell that we are good guys, we like to talk about our life in Córdoba and learn about your life and traditions in Wisconsin, although you will have to be patient about our english.

Also, we apreciate the efforts made by our chairman in Córdoba, María Victoria Tejerina. "Vicky, your previous experience at this kind of exchanges and advices were much important for the group."

We hope to complete this blog and add some pictures as soon as we could...

Best regards to everyone.

The GSE Team
