La Familia Mendéz

I've been exchanging emails with my host family for a few days now, and the more I hear from them, the more excited I am to meet them, and the better I feel about the trip as a whole.

Mama Maritza - my main contact, she likes to cook, and is looking forward to taking me to the market so I can teach her "como comer mas sano." She also asked what percent vegetarian I am.

Papa Cesar - is more hip than I am. He emails from his Blackberry. He's very adamant that "Cuando estés con nosotros seras un miembro mas de nuestra familia."

Los Hermanos - Stephanie is my amiga de facebook, she just had a birthday (the same day as my fellow traveler and future roommate, Beth). Jessica is in Africa right now, I hope she comes home before Christmas, so I can meet her. Cesar II like Glee and the Beatles



In other news, my Visa is in the mail, my classes are requested, and my bag is packed (sort of). 11 more days!
