After more than 24 hours flying planes and waiting in airports, I made it! The first flight I took, from SF to London, had little individual tv screens with 40 or so movies to choose from, along with a bunch of tv shows and music.
My host family is great. I can understand Mercedes´s (my host mom´s) Spanish more than that of anyone else I´ve met so far. Spaniards speak very quickly! Mercedes is very affectionate and mom-like. She has a husband, Angel, and 2 sons. Alvaro is 21 and Alejandro is 19 at the end of this month. They have 2 dogs, Iago and Lisa. They are big golden labs who love sniffing everywhere and need a big push before they´ll leave a room.
We had our first day of orientation today. In 3 weeks we sign up for classes. And since I haven´t bought a router yet and am using my host´s computer, I´ll have to explain more later.
I miss you all!
