The host family is nice. We're in a tiny apartment, but I have my own room with bathroom and internet (!). It's a middle-aged woman (Diana) and her 24-year-old son (Leo). He looks a lot like Van to me. Seriously. Only he has darker curlier hair and speaks mostly in Spanish (though his English is good). His futbol team won for the first time in a while today, so they both think I'm good luck.
I wasn't wearing the mask in the previous post for the whole plane ride, that was mandatory for the de-planing only. I'm not really sure who or how that helps, but that's what they wanted, so that's what I did.
I went exploring today, and saw some cool old buildings, but I realized that I'd left my SD card in the computer, so no pictures from that desafortunadamente.
While exploring, I stopped at a restaurant to eat 4 different empanadas with a coke that came in a glass bottle cerca 1973, totaling about $7.00 USA. Tonight, my host mom is making pizza.

I'm a little jealous. What's the weather like?
ReplyDeleteDoes Leo live at home? he might be a really good resource for finding the younger hot spots in town. Of course, once you meet your classmates/colleagues, I'm sure you will want to spend lots of time with them. Maybe you could be a resource for Leo to meet other foreigners.
ReplyDeleteAre you their first home stay guest or have they done this before?
Try to speak as much Spanish with the family as possible... don't get lured into teaching them English... you might feel slighted later (I speak from experience)
Miss you!
