Hello Amigos!!!!!
How are you? I’m here in New York. I arrived yesterday and I’m settling into my new home in my new city. It’s
all so new and exciting. Where to begin?
Well, my host family is wonderful. My host mother is Mary, my host father is Paul and my new little sister is
Clare. They always have students from abroad, so it is normal for them to have someone new in their home.
I also have my own room. I'm responsible for my own things, so I have to clean my room and do my own
laundry!! Help!! . My new family is very open and have a lot of questions about Argentina. Tomorrow,
I'm going to make some empanadas to introduce them to our wonderful food.
I'm going to visit my new school as well. I wonder what it is like. I hope I make friends there. I'm going to learn
how to use the underground. Hopefully I don’t get lost. I'm also going to start looking for a job. Wish me luck.
I miss you all, but we can talk anytime so call me. My number here is 1-217-548-0872.
