Welcome to Mexico

We had a long day of travel... 2 planes, a bus and finally a taxi. We were thrown right into immersion when we had to take a taxi to our house - since neither my roommate nor I speak too much Spanish it was a little scary! We arrived at our house safely though and met our family. They are wonderful! Esther and Romillio (our parents) are in their 60s. Their grown daughter, Lara, is living with them for the summer with her 4 year old son Carlito. Esther makes wonderful food and I was happy to find out that we can understand each other when we talk!! Below are some pictures of our room and the view we have from our room.







After dinner we went to the school and took a placement test. Now I know exactly how it feels to be a newcomer and know that you don't know the answers to most of the test (2 out of 3 pages in my case!) But despite my performance, I did make it into class "102" which is a step up from "101"!
