The other night we went to a nearby Italian restaurant to celebrate my host mother's birthday. It was the whole crew: Diego, Eugenia, Fernando, Euge, Nico and I. We spent the evening eating pasta and tiramisu and taking random photos and videos and talking about customs and cultures and laughing. I didn't want it to end.
Here I should mention how amazing my host family is. I am unbelievably fortunate. Everyone is so warm, patient, kind and happy to be of any help to me at any time. Family is a priority and they have made every effort to include me in theirs. It is remarkable how close I have become to them in just a month.
Love these people.
In the following videos, try to ignore my constant laugh. I couldn't help myself. Note their "hellos" to "Carolina y Roberto, Guillermo y Colin, Curtis y Chep". The last video is an attempt to capture my pathetic pronunciation of the verb "ronronear" (meaning "purr"). Not so easy, and a little embarrassing, but I'm happy to provide some entertainment.
