Esperanza

I got a good nights sleep, woke up, and had a shower. We were served a breakfast buffett in the hotel, which consisted of all sorts of fresh fruit, pancakes, french toast, beens, sweet tortillas, beans, egss, and i`ll stop now. After breakfast we had our oreintation, which was conducted in spanish. The director of the program and all the professors gave us advice and information we would need. After the orientation we got to meet our host families for the first time. I was so excited and nervous. My host mum was very nice and she drove me back to my new house. It is an amazing looking, old spanish style, building with giant wood doors. The house istelf is also bonita. I have a host mum, dad, little brother (2 years old) and an older sister. They all seem very nice. We watched a football game and i gave them a boomerang and some chocolates. After unpacking i went downstairs for lunch/dinner. I had a focacia quesidilla with feta cheese, beans, avacado, and chile. In addition I received some pure mango juice, which was amazing.

I have come to realize that the food in Mexico is amazing. I will be eating fresh fruit, home cooked meals, and tasty snacks for ten weeks. I am pretty sure i will come back fat.


Adios for now...Oh and i´ll probably start writting entries in spanish from now on.
