I feel like writing this whole post in HUGE LETTERS BECAUSE I´M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE! But I won´t because that´s a little annoying to read. Let me break it down for you...
Lyon: I live in a city!! No huge sky scrapers or anything like that but there´s a huge cathedral (beautiful at night) and lots of stuff and things and restaurants and city stuff. Okay I don´t really know that much about it, todays my walk-around-and-get-to-know-the-city day. But it´s sweet.
Family: My family is SO nice! The front of the house is a second hand clothing store, and then you keep walking back and there´s the rest of the house (Megan and Kalli...be jealous). They´re very religious so there are crosses and pictures of Jesus everywhere, including a picture over my bed that looks like Jesus from one angle and Mary from another angle. Living in my house is Miriam (mi madre...very energetic), Rodolfo (mi padre...but actually Miriam´s brother, he lives in the house with his daughters...very nice but speaks really softly and I´m always afraid he´s asking me questions and I´m just responding "ahh si si"), Carlos (mi hermano, about my age and very nice), Krystal (mi hermana...13 and such a sweetie...big on hugs). I have another sister but she´s staying with her mom right now so I haven´t met her, as well as a million cousins and aunts and uncles that I haven´t met yet. Everyone is SO kind..."we´re your family and this is your house" etc etc and I´m definitely putting my spanish skills to use.
Okay back to the house...work starts Monday. Sweeeeet!
PS I took a shower by pouring buckets of water over my head this morning and it was cold and refreshing and I guess that way noone really wants to hog the shower. Sorry, just had to document this first-experience.
