I just realized i haven't talked at all about my host family?!?! (or have i) I think ive been really lucky in my travel experience thus far... and its really a blessing considering how novice i feel... anyway, this family is the most warm, loving, fun, funny, nice, genuine, #everything wonderful# host home you could imagine.. the father has eaten with me (us/another student joined me in classes this week)..the mother and daughter has also joined us for a majority of dinners... other family members drop by (grandfathers, aunts, uncles) and everyone is so interesting and amazing... and they've been so patient with my spanish and we've had some wonderful conversations about family, friends, politics (can you believe, in spanish?!?), countries, work, etc etc.....
it almost doesnt seem real, but then it feels incredibly real and genuine at the same time... (if that makes any sense)...
you are immediately part of their family and feel right at home. its only been 2 weeks, but it feels like we've known each other for years and im sad to be leaving them..

That is so wonderful! I was just reading in Reader's Digest that the rest of the world is overwhelmingly in favor of Obama. The US is the only country where its divided between Obama and McCain.
That's awesome. I am so glad you got so lucky. Nothing like feeling home away form home :-)
