The people I am staying with speak no Spanish. Maria Alicia, the mother, is a woman with eight children, three of which are living with her Bryan, who is 22, Leopoldo, who is 8 and Erica Maria who is 6. They are all really neat people, and I am enjoying getting to know them in the limited way I can, and in being welcomed to their family. The house is a small two bedroom clapboard house that the rain doesn't enter, but the mosquitos do. There is rain almost every day or night for a few hours, and the trail down the hill to the house is slippery when wet, and tricky at night with no lights. They are delighting me, and I am delighting them with all my cultural blunders and lousy Spanish. Erica is a talented artist, and we are having fun drawing together. Bryan wants to marry me,or so his mother says, and while he is very cute and very flirtatious, I think it might not work out. The blogger is having trouble taking hte photos, so I am going to have to try it with my own laptop, which has a different photo handling program...next time...
