Hey everyone,
So the day after my last post, I sat at a café wondering what to do for the day (tough life I know). So I made up my mind to try the beach. I loved the beach enough to go back the next day. I have quite a tan (and somewhat of a burn from it all). The beaches here in Miraflores are rock beaches. By rock I mean that these are big smooth rocks that crash with the waves that easily get over 15 feet high. It is very much a surfer's place. Needless to say, I had fun. I spent most of Saturday taking it easy as if my life was so rough for the week and really late that night the other people from the US arrived. Today, we spent the morning in orientation where the Spanish was understandable but tiring. Then, with my head ready for a nap. I met my host family at a buffet lunch. Needless to say I love my host family so far. My Senora is so helpful, she does not forget even the smallest of detail in explaining everything and makes sure that I know exactly what is going on at all times. My hermano (brother) is 28 years old, and is a civil engineer. He has a college student personality that would easily fit into my group of friends back home. And my favorite, my new dog named Wayco (it's Incan, you have to say it with food in your mouth to get it right). He is a golden retriever and thinks that I am his best friend. Dont tell Hoover, he would be so jealous. Now, I have two weeks of submersion classes that come to 2 credits in two weeks. Needless to say, I will be speaking a lot of Spanish the next two weeks. However, I feel that I will be fine. Senora says I know more Spanish than anyone else she has hosted, I hope that works for me :)
