My host mom met us at the University and she immediately knew who my roommate and I were. She told us that she had been studying our pictures, que mono! She is a precious older woman, she reminds me a lot of my grandma. She is constantly trying to feed my roommate and I, I think that's why she reminds me of my gammoi. Her son lives with her too, he is her oldest child. She has another son and one daughter. Her house is so cute. It is red with a white gate in front of it. She is Catholic so the moment you walk into her house you are overwhelmed with various religious chachkas (that's a word my grandma uses, it means knick knacks.). She made us tilapia the first night and it was muy deliciosa! We have orientation tomorrow and we are taking a tour of the city and then Monday we start classes
