second day!

Hola a todos!

Yesterday orientation went well. I met so many kids from all over the place! I met a girl from Holland, kids from Germany, Korea, Japan, France, Australia, Ireland and more. Not to mention everyone from the states! It is very different here, but it is good to experience it. We had a ton of information thrown at us yesterday, so it was a bit overwhelming, but I am sure I will get used to it soon.

I went for a walk yesterday with my host mom, Mely and her ten year old son Andres. It was very interesting to see the neighborhood. All the houses are bright colors and have flowers. It's really crowded though. The streets are narrow and the houses are right against the curb. To go out of the house, we have to walk through the garage every night. There is also no zoning, so there's restaurants and salons right in between houses. I enjoyed the walk a lot, even though we did see two stray dogs!

I'm really looking forward to classes starting on Monday! Until then we are continuing with orientation and just getting to know the campus, so nothing too exciting. Later today a group of Mexican students are taking us to a fancy Mexican restaurant, so more about that tomorrow!
