I love integration!

So I am having a great time at my site. My family is amazing. As I have said, I have really cool parents, a sister whos 25, a brother who is married with a little girl and living in the jungle side of ecuador, a housekeeper who is another member of the family (she has worked for the family since my host mom was 6 months old!!), and two pekinese dogs.
I have a nice room that is so nice to come home to each night. I am finally unpacked and settled. These past few days I have been hanging out with my sister because school does not start until Sept. 6th. She is wonderful. She talks to me like the adult I am (sometimes its hard to have real full conversations bcause of my language skills- but with her its different).
We started walking in the mornings, its really safe here and I feel comfortable.
Also, I have an electric shower and I am scared I am going to get electrocuted.
For fun, one of my sisters friends come over to pick us up in their car and we drive around and around the city until we find some other friends to drive around with. Its quite interesting, but thank god for my sister, it has been easy finding friends and being accepted. Super thankful for that!
