There was a young red-headed girl who wanted to learn Spanish in a far away country. She asked her friend Jana if she would like to go with her to a land far, far way, and without any hesitation, Jana agreed.
The day of the flight to the distant country arrived, and the two girls met at the airport (each having had less than three hours of sleep). Sweet Caryn had difficulty going through security because apparently it is the end of the world if mascara, lip gloss, saline solution, etc. enter the airport. This innocent one was a threat to the world, and the cruel security guard practically accused her of being an enemy to the country. After being threatened to lose the privilege of flying far, far away, Caryn attempted to pass through the evil security line again. Whew! She made it!
The two young ladies anxiously awaited their flight. They waited…and waited…and waited. Hark! Their ears perked at the sound of the last call to board their plane. Whew! They made it!
The plane landed safely in this far-off land, and Jana and Caryn quickly gathered their belongings to start their brave journey. After being informed numerous times that someone would be awaiting our arrival and holding a sign with our beautiful names written on it, the reality of having no one to greet us was confusing and disappointing. After ten offers for getting our shoes shined (the girls were wearing crocs and flip-flops), fifty offers for a taxi to our destination, eight hundred lusting eyes looking us over, two short phone conversations with the school, one bag of peanut M&Ms, and four hours of waiting in a disgustingly filthy, uncomfortable, crowded, foreign airport, Jana and Caryn were finally picked up by the a taxi driver sent from the school.
The ride to their new home was thrilling and frightful, but fine. One wouldn’t believe a bus could fit in all the places that this one squeezed through. It was impressive!
In this distant land there are countless green trees, and plants. The new place is surrounded by mountains/volcanoes, which make it lovely. The reckless driver took the charming females through shady neighborhoods, bright buildings, and disheartening poverty. Then, he pressed the brake to drop us off at the host family’s place. The girls’ nerves were shot from the day’s happenings, but hope remained within them. Through the open door they did not enter a house, but a courtyard of flourishing plants and chirping birds. The house just seems to be a part of the outdoors. The place would be a typical home one sees everyday if it had an outside wall, but it doesn’t, so it isn’t ordinary at all. Jana and Caryn were given a pleasant blue room in which to stay, and the “house mom” made them feel as comfortable as she possibly could.
At this point, the difficulties the girls experienced throughout the day were almost worth it, just to live in this beautiful home. But, their time in the foreign land has not yet ended. And the rest of the adventure will wait until another day.
