So for the next month or so, I will be staying at a "Family House" which is basically a mixture between a Traditional Home-stay and Hostel. It is called the "La Florida Family House." It is 3 stories with 8 bedrooms of varying sizes. It also has a kitchen, dining room, courtyard, TV room and multiple bathrooms. It is about a 20 minute walk from Maximo Nivel.
The House is mainly run by three Peruvian ladies, Gabby, Ruth, and Priscilla. They cook us 3 delicious meals a day (7am, 12pm, and 7pm)*, clean, and watch over us. There is no curfew as there are in traditional home-stays and we are allowed to drink wherever we want. All of the staff speaks Espanol, so it is good practice for us!

*If you are not going to be home for lunch, you tell them and they make a papersack lunch for you with a sandwich, banana, juicebox, oreos, and candies. AND they write your name on it. Its like 4th grade again!!
I got lucky and ended up with my own room with a full bed. Which as you may know, is better than I've had the last 5 years :) (The full bed part, not the own room part- Miss you Bromo!!!)
Right now there are about 12 or so other young people staying in the house, and its been really fun hanging out so far!!
Overall, this is a great set up and I'm super happy to be here!
