Host Family / Site Visit

Just a brief description of the family I am expecting to live with for the next two years. My host parents are both teachers, dad - gym  and mom - communications. Communications I think is like language arts or something similar. I have three host siblings, a twin boy and girl who are the same age as me as well as a younger brother. None of them live at home, they are all away at school, so in the house it is just my host parents and myself. So I have gone from all brothers in the US, all sisters in my training family, and now essentially the only child.
My site visit was the first time I got to meet this family and the best description I can give for how my visit went was that I won site assignments. My town (pueblo) is awesome. A lot of the people there knew past volunteers and are excited for another. Also instead of explaining what Peace Corps is and what I plan to do like other volunteers do I have people telling me what I am going to do. There is also another volunteer there now so we will get to work together on some joint projects. The Business and YD programs have some pretty good opportunities to work hand in hand with youth and entrepreneurship so I am excited to see where that goes.
Some of the highlights of my visit were running laps at the soccer field with my host dad and my host brother, visiting the pre-Incan ruins that are in my community, climbing trees and eating fruit straight from those trees, swinging on a rope swing that looked like you were flying straight into the valley, and playing fubolito with some of the people in the community. Fubolito is a form of soccer that is really popular here, they play it on a small concrete court and it is kind of like futsol but has a few different rules. Also from my understanding when I get back I am going to be playing in some sort of league which I am pretty excited about, both just to get to play and to have a great way to meet people and assimilate into the community.
I feel very fortunate to have such awesome potential at my site and to have such a cooperative and welcoming host family. I can’t wait to move there (except for the actual moving part) and get to assimilating.
