Today is the day!

In a very short time I am going to be leaving the world of living hostels and moving in with my host family to begin my two weeks of language classes. I am a little nervous but more than anything I am extremely excited. I am ready to get away from the travelers world and settle into a place for several weeks. And about all else I am ready to learn Spanish. I even bought a silly notebook from the grocery store yesterday to keep notes in. So hopefully by the time I get home I will be able to hold an intelligent conversation in Spanish!

A little about yesterday... The morning began with torrential rain but it lightened up just in time for me to catch a ride out to Laguna de Apoyo. An incredible place! It is a lagoon at the bottom of a crater. It was so incredibly peaceful. I haven´t been in such silence in a very long time. So I took the day all to myself. Kayaked out on the lake for a few hours, swam in the water, read and wrote in my journal. A wonderful day to ponder my last few weeks of traveling.

Alright off to meet my family of the next two weeks...
