Suprises

Well I'm here. I don't think it really sank in until I was landing in Costa Rica. And even now, though I know I'm here, I still have a little trouble wrapping my head around the fact that I will be here for another three and some months.
Even though I have been here less than 24 hours, these are the things that have suprised me thus far. First is the size of my family. When I was told where I would be living, they said it was a mother, a father, and an 18 year old daughter. What they didn't say is that the older daughter also lived with them. The older daughter has four kids. There is also a dog. It barks at me a lot. Also, the weather is absolutely beautiful. Everybody told me so, but I thought they were lying because they knew I hated hot weather. They were not lying. I think it's in the low 70s right now. The thing that suprises me the most though is how natural it feels. Yes, it's a little akward when I'm trying to say something and can't or when one of the kids are repeating themselves for the forth time, but that's to be expected. But when it comes down to it, I've only been here a night, and it's starting to feel like home.
