Host Family

June 29 was an amazing day because it was the day that I received my host family! The email that AFS sent me said that I have a mom and three siblings, but after talking to my host sister, I found out I have a fourth sibling. All of my sibling are older than me, so I know that will be fun, but definitely different than I had expected. Claudia is 20, Caro is 21, Miguel is 23, and Henry is 31. Henry also has two daughters, Lucia and Emily, who are 1 and 5 respectively, but Henry, his wife, and his kids don't live in our house. Apparently, I also have a cousin who is 15, and she goes to my school. I am hoping she will be in my grade at school! I will be living in Palmares, San Isidro del General, San Jose, Costa Rica! My school is named Liceo Fernando Volio Jimenez. The only thing that I know about it is that it is 2km from my house, and the uniforms are navy blue with light blue. I live 40 minutes away from a beautiful beach called Dominical which apparently has great surfing. I am so excited to learn how to surf! I've been talking to my host sister, Caro, a lot over Facebook, and that is making me so excited to meet everyone.
