Third and Final Family

    I know this is kind of late, but as you can see from my previous blog posts I have been kind of busy to try and write anything about my family. But now I have time! This family is great. My host dad and mom work together as the bosses for a water distributor (Nestle).

A picture of my friends and me in the office of my host mother.

My host father is on the left. The president of my Rotary club is on the right.

      My grandmother owns a long-term stay hotel, and I have one host sibling. He is my host brother, but right now he is on his own exchange in Michigan (I will get to see him when I return home).

My host brother participates in baseball in his high school in Michigan.
  
When I am with my host family I spend most of my time in my host parents' office. It is very near all of the hang out spots, and it always has as stock of snacks and drinks. 




   When I'm not in the office, I have usually gone out to eat with my host parents. This host family does not, as of yet, have a conventional house. We live in the hotel that my grandmother owns, so we do not have a kitchen do cook meals in. The hotel is very nice. My host parents live on the first floor, and I live in my own room on the second. The room reminds me more of the dorm rooms I have seen before than a hotel room (So it should be good practice for me since I am going to college in the fall).



    This family is really great. I have shared all of my host families with Joao and Raul, the other two exchange students from my Thailand Rotary club, and this host family has treated us all as their sons even when we stopped living with them. I now only have a few days left with them and will miss them a lot, but I will get the chance to see my host brother in the US.
