The waiting hours at the Dulles airport were awful, then I had a pleasant short flight to Roanoke, I got there at 13:30 Angie and her family were there waiting for me, we went to lunch and after that we bought pumpkins to make our Jack-o-larterns. It was a very nice experience because I've never imagined the enthusiasm people have for this festivity.
As I hadn't brought a present for the family that is hosting me (I didn't know in advance), I gave them my Jack-o-lartern, and I was also able to buy them a Luigi Bosca Malbec right in one the supermarkets around. In the evening we went to a coffee shop and had pizza with Tim, the head of the school. When I got to my hosts home I had time to organize my things and then I showed them on the Google Earth where Luigi Bosca is.
They are wonderful, a great family, I cannot tell who is best, but the boy is absolutely excellent. He's very kind and nice really.
I'm very comfortable with them and they make me feel at ease.
I've spent the whole day at school in Angies classes, except for a two hour break. I went to Pilates with Susan, my host.
I'm having a great time.

This sounds like it was a good introduction to the rest of your US adventure. Who is Angie, and who is Susie?
Angie is the Spanish teacher who has applied for the Fulbright scholarship, Suzie is my host where I'm staying, Nick is her son, and Dave is her husband. I think I couldn't have been luckier, they are a wonderful family and excellent hosts.
