The family I am staying with is awesome. There are 6 of us in one house. The mother and father are Stella and Neri and the 2 daughters are Clara and Faviola. They are all really cool. Yesterday I spent the majority of the day (and night) talking to Stella and Karla. I basically talked to them until it was late and my head hurt. After hours of Spanish, I at one point asked Carla how her English was (in English) and for the first 2 or 3 sentences proceded to fumble the words of my own native language. I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing… Karla is an interior design student and an English teacher at a local school, so hopefully soon we will be able to jump into architectural powertalk.
I am also staying with 2 other gringos. The first is Henry, a Canadian guy who owns a greenhouse business about an hour outside of New York state. He is taking spanish so that he can communicate better with some of the Mexican help he has in the greenhouse. The second is Jaime, a man of about 75 who has been living with the family for more than 10 years. Jaime is a bit elusive but I will try my best to get a photo of him…

Oh ya, and the food is amazing…
Tostadas - it is impossible to exhibit any form of self control around these things
Pollo, guacamole, y arroz
