They´re very nice. (I guess my Borat accent doesn´t come through very well over the computer). Anyways, everything is great. I have my own bathroom, a TV and DVD player in my room and privacy for the first time in three weeks. I have a wonderful house mother (Ana), her 20 something years old daughter (Anna Maria or Anita) who´s engaged and works for my program, a 15 year old daughter who seems to be quite the overachiever (Carla) and a 10 year old son (Javier) who plays tennis and dances to ¨Thriller¨ with me (Someone may actually think I´m cool for the first time. I´m sure it won´t last long).
I also met the teacher I am going to be working with. Her name is Sylvia and she is a sweet older lady, but very traditional. The good news is that I have no class on Thursday as of now and two hours in the middle of the day on Friday to lesson plan for the next week. Basically I´m going to be working about 20 hours plus extra curriculars. Maybe I will have time to write the great American novel and surf.
I found a surf shop close to my house that will rent a board and wet suit for about 10 dollars a day, so I´m going to give it a try and hopefully join the professional surf tour shortly after.
I have also been trying to sort out what I would like to do for my breaks. In July I´ve been thinking about doing a couple of weeks in Patagonia with an Aussie buddy from the program who´s teaching down in Patagonia. He´s been an adventure guide for years, which is reassuring since it would be the middle of winter when we went. Anyways, who knows what will happen. I´ve also been thinking I will most likely do Macchu Picchu and Lake Titikaka if possible over the week of September 18th, which would also be the best time for anyone interested to come visit.
Also, I´m going to try and get pictures up, but I need to get a camera cord since I left all my stupid computer stuff at home. Anyways, Ciao.
