Estoy Aqui

I'm here in the town I will be living and training in for the next 3 months. Tonight is the first night I'll spend with my host family. I can't say exactly where I am due to Peace Corps restrictions but the address that I posted is where I can receive mail. My family seems really nice but I can't understand what they are saying. They speak really fast and they use a different Spanish then I am used to. My head really feels like a brick right now after our Spanish class this afternoon and speaking to my family all day. I think we are about to leave to go to a fiesta patronale in a nearby town. I'm sure when my head hits the hard mattress under my mosquito net in my room with no air conditioning I will fall right asleep. On a good note, the lunch my family made today was great. Rice, beans and chicken that was realy very good. I was impressed. So at least I will be eating well. There is also a rooster next door so the sleep may not be good. I'll update more later...my time is up here at the internet cafe.
