Just though you all might want to knwo that I made it down here and so far everything is ok. I am with a host family consisting of a mother and daughter of 11. I am living in an apartment on the 5th floor and almost nobody speaks English. I am begining to realize how rusty my spanish was. Down the road live two german girls who are also in the same program. That is nice. Im tired from the long trip and reading for the work to begin tommorrow. Ill post soon.
