so in short, our flights were late, our luggage was left at heathrow, i have no idea when im getting it.
when i finally got to my host family´s house, i was amazing how nice it is. its huge, hardwood, and old. theres a courtyard in the center that my room looks out on. im super close to the heart of the city, and today i went on a bike ride with my host dad to the royal palace and gardens, egyptian ruins, a hill that overlooked the whole city, and where to get the best icecream in the city.
i have a host mom and dad, and 4 host sisters. teresa is nine, maryann 11, beatrice 13 and marta 17.
when i got there yesterday, my first meal was squid and rice, cooked in the squid´s ink. it tasted like ink. but what can you do?
today, before the bike ride i went and bought some sandals and shirts and stuff, since i have nothing. i really hope my stuff comes soon.
spanish is turing out to be pretty easy to understand, and difficult to speak. i start class tomorrow. we take a placement test, and spend the next month in intensive spanish class.
i have more to say, but i cant write anymore, its a little hectic with all the kids.
