I have arrived

I am here now! it has almost been four days (it´s 9:00 pm here) and everything is going great. Im living in a very nice appartment on the second floor where I can look out from my room at an old part of the city, with beautiful old tile roofs, that is being preserved for some reason. The family who is hosting me is very nice, my brother and father speak english well and so that has helped the beginning of our experience together. My mother however doesnt speak english, which is good because that means I will have to learn portuguese! I also have a host sister who is 10, she is really shy though and I havn´t had a chance to get to know her yet. My host brother is in my class at school, and I had my first day of school today. I could follow chemistry on the board, but I couldnt understand any of the other classes. The food is great, lots of meat, of all kinds! especially beef though. There is so much more to say! but I don´t want to spend to much time on the computer in the beginning of my experience at least, so I am going to stop here. Overall, everthing is great, going better than I could have imagined. I will update you all soon.
