I love my host family!!!!!
My host sister and her husband picked me up at the hostel around 9 last night and took me out for drinks at a local bar. I never would have known it was there; we had to walk through the first floor of what seemed to be a completely empty building and enter through a back staircase, but sure enough there it was, a very quirky bar called Retro. All around were displays of original retro American toys like G.I. Joe, Barbie, and Monopoly. My host-brother-in-law (is that what he is?) explained that he is opening a small bar with a similar vibe in the town where I will be living. We didn't stay for long but I can already tell that we will get along very well!
We had a long 3 hour Spanish class this morning followed by a short lecture from the ACI staff on our projects. Even though we finished early, the afternoon rain had already come so I opted to head back to the hostel alone rather than stay out with the other volunteers. This meant some hot water for my shower (HUGE smiley face goes here) and some quiet time, so now I am happily sitting in my bunk with the jar of Nutella I bought with Silvia yesterday, a spoon, and Spanish notes to study.
On second thought, maybe a nap would be better...
