Meeting our host families and going our new homes!

On Saturday, we met our host families who live in the same area we did our bike training. We’re kind of divided into about four or five groups throughout the area. We will live with our host families for the next 8 weeks.

Kind of nervous on the big day,
but everyone looking good with plenty of smiles.

There are always cranes and herons in our backyard.
Three generations, my host mom, Jip,
her daughter Som-oh with her son, Gao,
and my host mother’s granddaughter, Don Kao.
Then we took a ride over to visit Kailei with her host family.
