Dia 1

I slept for like 12 hours. I guess I was tired. I slept through a large thunderstorm and a baby crying on an off apparently. Those earplugs really work haha. The food here continues to impress me. I had some fresh squeezed orange juice with home-made yogurt and granola for breakfast.

Today I really didn't do much at all. I got to know the host family a bit more and tried to get more used to how they live here. But lunch at 1 and dinner after 9 will always be difficult for me I think. I watched some TV in Spanish and understood nearly none of it, they talk really fast on the TV, but the commercials here are hilarious.  Tomorrow I go see the University for the first time. How exciting!
I got a picture of Betty with Lorenda (maybe thats her name?, they always say it so fast)

Betty and Lorenda

I am so enjoying the weather here, it was extra humid today from the storm last night so it felt nice and warm. It will be interesting to see how long it feels like I'm on vacation here. Because, since I associate vacation with weather different from home, and its hot here and cold at home, it still feels like vacation.

And my new favorite discovery: netflix works here. And it has spanish subtitles so i can be learning spanish at the same time.
