La Casa

I woke up today, Wednesday Aug 6th, at 8:45. Cecilia had breakfast all made for me for when i came downstairs. I ate bread w/ jelly, this really good juice which i'm not sure what kind it was, tea, and cereal. She had all the bowls and plates covered with these cute knit things. In the courtyard they have two big snapping turtles which we fed bananas.

The house is a lot bigger than i expected. There is a cement wall probably 12 feet high with a door that leads to a front yard area. Then you go into the main house; to the right is the livingroom, dining room kitchen and courtyard; and to the left is the stairs. My bedroom is the first one up the stairs to the right, Cecilia (the daughter, not mother, both have same name) is to the left, and Cecilia (mother) is straight. There is also another exchange student living in the house who i have not met yet. She is from boston i want to say. Cecilia made it a big point though that english is not permitted in the house.

I'm not sure what i'm going to do the rest of the day. After lunch Cecilia and i are going to go shopping for a cell phone and some shampoo etc.

I met Kat the other girl who is staying with us. Also we got a another girl who is living here from brazil.
Wednesday night Cecilia and Enrique took Kat and I on a ride through the old part of the city. All the buildings here lit up (it gets dark at 6:30) and everything was really pretty.
