My first days

Well first of all I made it safe! Traveling was long and tiring, i didnt sleep much! But the country is beautiful, and all the people are extremely nice!! But its HOT! I sweat permanently all day long! My host mom is slightly shy, she is very young, 28 and never had a PCV (peace corps volunteer) before! and she has a son who is 7 months old, he is adorable but all he does is stare at me, no smiling... yet! My dad is nice, but i´ve only met him for about 30 seconds, he works night shifts, so i dont think i´ll be seeing him much! Our house is nice, really nice from the outside. We have running water and electricity, which not all volunteers do! The showers all have cold water, but its so freakin hot, so cold showers are awesome! You start sweating just as soon as your done anyway! The neighbor is my "grandma" who has another volunteer, Jacob. and i anticipate doing lots of things with him and their family. we live in the campo, which is the country, and everyone in our community is realated in somehow! I guess we will be doing lots of community activities together- carnival, birthday parties, soccer tournaments!! I really like the community feel and we´re all friends and hang out! The fruit juice I drank was AMAZING!! And I had coffee this morning... weird right! But I loved it!!! My group of volunteers is really great, I have made a couple of really great friends, but everyone is really nice and I talk to everyone! We start doing language training tomorrow and I took a language interview today to see where i place, if i test out of spanish i will go straight into learning Guarani- which is super interesting, you dont pronounce it like it is spelled, you drop lots of letters! But i´m really excited to learn it! We will be doing most of our training in our satellite communities which all have 12 people in them, and then we´ll be in three groups for language, so we´ll only have four people and one teacher for language learning which is awesome!! But I will update again soon, probably at least a week, I wont have email too often, and no phone till I am an actual volunteer not just a trainee!!
