This week I finally received the email I have been waiting on for months! I got my host family in Nata, Panama! Nata is a small town with only about 6,000 residents. I can't find much about the town online other than that it is the oldest town in Panama, and was originally colonized by Spanish settlers when they invaded Central America.
My host family is much bigger than I'm used to, but it will be a good experience! I will have a mother, father, two brothers (19 and 10), a sister (24), and my sisters children live there too. I think she has a girl and boy, around 4 and 5! They also have three dogs and a cat! Definitely gonna be different from what I'm used to with my two sisters and outside pets.
I have talked to my host mother, brother, and sister and look forward to meeting them in two weeks! It's been hard to communicate since my spanish isn't so great, and none of my family in Panama speaks english, but I'll make it through. Since I leave so soon I've been rushing around getting immunizations, having doctors appointments and making sure my passport and everything is good to go! I have to finish my online english class this weekend, and then I'm in the home stretch, packing and saying my goodbyes!
