On Saturday we picked up Juan Jose from the airport. He will be visiting with us for the next 4 weeks. He arrived from Chile, with 20 of his friends for a 4 week exchange program. They are dispersed along the coast of Maine and are all very fresh faced and excited to be here. If you are entertaining the thought of being a host family, I encourage you to do so. The bonds made, from what I can tell so far are long lasting. This is our second year, and the experience for both our visiting child and my family has been quite a wonderful one. My daughter will be visiting Chile in the summer, to spend time with Cami, our Chilean daughter who with us last year. I am just hoping the next 4 weeks do not zoom by as they did last year.
