We made it to San Nicolas on Sunday and have been meeting tons of new people, getting oriented with Davie and Sarah, and enjoying our time with our host family.
We have had a few first impressions of our new home and town:
1.) We can’t believe how beautiful the landscape is! every time we are outside and look around, we are in awe.
2.) The cooler weather rocks!
3.) Our house that we will soon move into is much bigger than we imagined, even after Skyping with Sarah and Davie several times.
4.) Mango, banana, other fruit trees in our backyard.
5.) Everyone seems really nice, especially the teachers at the school and our neighbors.
6.) Already loving the small town feel!
7.) It’s really windy, with random gusts of wind coming through the valley.
8.) We just completed our first “load” of laundry by hand and it’s not SO bad
9.) Davie and Sarah and awesome host and trail blazers for us! As are Billy and Kristin (the first volunteers here!) We’ve already heard their name (BillyKristin) mentioned several times.
10.) It’s very hilly here, but like we said SO beautiful!
I hope to post a few more pictures of our home and town very soon. We will be in a transition/orientation period until the end of this month. While we are looking forward to settling into our space, we are also appreciating our time with a local host family to practice our Spanish and develop important relationships and it has been amazing to have Davie and Sarah here to guide us through some logistical details of daily life in San Nicolas.
Love,
Alli + Kyle
