First Day!

Hello everyone o hola a todos!

Yesterday I arrived at Queretaro! I met two students on the plane, Matt and Jenna, so it was very nice to have them with me. We met up with a student from the University at the airport and she took us to the University so we could get picked up by our host families. The drive was so beautiful! Queretaro is reall hilly and there are big mountains in the distance. There are palm trees and flowers everywhere. The town is really interesting too. It all looks old and antique. It is funny to see houses right next door to restaurants and stores. It is also funny to see wal mart and costco in Mexico.

My family is really nice. The mom is Mely and she is a secretary at the University. The dad is Olaf and he works for the Mexican social security department. There are two boys, Olaf and Andres. I hung out with the boys last night and we watched iCarly in Spanish. Andres is extrememly talkative, so it was fun getting to know him better. Olaf jr. plays guitar very well and he played me a bunch of songs.

This morning we have orientation. Mely took me to the University early after dropping off Olaf sr. at his office. I liked the morning drive a lot. I will be sure to take pictures tomorrow. That is all for now, but there will be more later.

Miss you!
