Tomorrow is the visit along with hopefully choosing who will stay. We are trying to get a Taiwanese boy, if possible. We hosted students three summers in a row but it's been about 5 years since we last had one due to illnesses and family issues. We're excited to be doing this again! It's just for the summer which makes it easier to manage. We've had students from France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Japan.

1. I lived with a host family for a summer in Segovia, Spain. One of the best times of my life
And boy, they could cook!

4. We'd like to, but I'm not sure how our autistic son would deal with it.
We may try when our daughters start going off to college.

5. My sister's youngest graduated and is headed off to college
My sister now has four kids in college! Anyway, I think they would be a perfect host family. My sister is a vice-principal of a middle school and my BIL is some communications bigwig. I might run that past them!
