People (friends Ive met, homestay family…)

I haven’t written much about the family that I’m staying with, but I really am enjoying this place. My family is probably one of the poorer home-stay families, but they’re great. This family has a good spirit. I’m starting to understand enough Spanish to be able to talk with them. The youngest girl is 21, and she is the most patient with me so we talk a lot. They are funny though… I haven’t finished a meal yet without being asked “do you like the food of my house?” And they keep giving me new Spanish words to describe how good their food is.

San Juan del Sur, Carita Feliz

We have gone to Carita Feliz twice this past week, and plan on going again a few times this next week. I want to have some afternoons where all I do is chill though. I didn’t plan on being so busy while I was here, but it’s cool to have stuff to do. The first time we went to CF the children were real shy, but Thursday we were welcomed with the kid’s spanish-accented voices: “We waiting for you!”
