Cathedral in Macarena |
Well now that orientation week is over, I'm kind of excited to start classes and get into more of a routine; these next two weeks I will be taking an intensive Spanish grammar course from 12-3, then after that I will have a regular class schedule. So far, I've been taking advantage of the siesta (nap) here and I'm learning more and more about my host family every day...yesterday I just found out that we have a pet bird (it hasn't made a peep since I've been here). I also got to meet my host parents grandchildren yesterday. They are so cute! Today, my hosts took me to Mass, then we went to the town my host mom grew up in (Macarena) and visited some beautiful cathedrals. I'm making lots of new friends and loving the culture here!
