Arrived today after a grueling plane flight of no sleep and a kid kicking my back the whole way. My host mom and dad picked me up from the airport..I wasn't really clear who was who at first, in that I wasn't sure who I'd been emailing, but I think I've put it together.
It was really cool driving through the outskirts of Guadalajara. There were some neighborhoods that seemed to be completely made out of mud bricks, streets, houses, everything, yet they were really beautiful and colorful because of all the clothing hanging out on lines and people playing soccer all over the place (it's a Sunday). The craziest thing was I couldn't believe it wasn't July, it was so sunny and warm.
The house is in this nice neighborhood Providencia--the house is actually bigger than it looks and I really love it here. My room is awesome--there's a cool vintage mirror and view of palm trees. The whole house seems pretty airy, appropriate for the location. The daughter who lives at home is 23 and works at Corona! and is really nice, along with the parents--so warm and friendly, I love it. There is an hermano who is older and doesn't live there anymore.
Apparently there's another girl from the U.S. living here who is in another bedroom. Well, first day of orientation tomorrow, wish me luck not getting groped on the bus!
