After Renee and I left the hostel, we went to the Hotel Melia to see everyone else in our program. There are over 50 students here through the Central program--its crazy! I was able to meet one or two new people and then I caught up with a lot of the Central folks. This first meeting at the Hotel Melia was more about meeting our host families and learning about Granada than about others in the program-that will come later.
My host family--awesome. I am so blessed! When I first saw them, I just wanted to say Thank you God for they looked so nice. I have a mom named Eugenia who works at a hospital, a dad named Fernando who I'm still trying to figure out what he does, an older sister named Lucelle who is 26 and is pretty closed off to her room, and a little brother named Adrian who is 7 years old! This boy is precious. And he is all 7. We were suggested to take it easy today in that we spend time with the family an spend time alone so that we don't get overwhelmed. I think I got a total of 15 minutes to myself until he came into my room (I have my own room!) asking Que haces? What are you doing? He's still too cute and new to me for me to say no, so I went off with him.
To finish up this day, my host father took me to see the center that is filled with commercial stores and historic cathedrals. It sounds weird but I promise its beautiful to see. The city is so lively and so ancient! I love it. It's hard to explain what all I saw and learned because I was just trying to take in all that I could. Hopefully as I get to know the city better, I'll be able to better explain it.
He explorado, soñado, y descubrió
