mercedes

i am pretty lucky to have mercedes...my host mom. i told her how some people were having problems with their families because they aren't very welcoming and aren't very patient and she said it doesnt bother me much because the only language we both know is spanish so it forces you to learn it and everyday you are getting better and its true i said because i can understand more of what she says...i am not exactly able to speak better, but understanding yes. in time it will better. plus she is a good cook and that helps. everything she makes i tell her i like and she laughs and says i like that you like it. 

she is so funny i think she likes the fact that i told her i impressed my friends when i told them where to go because she said it was a good place so she took my map and numbered it with discotecas, cafes, streets with gift shops and things that we should go too. she said tell them your host mom said to go there, they will be impressed you know the city so well already. 

 she also thinks its funny how much i enjoy the siestas (afternoon naps) because the past two days i have taken 2-3 hour naps. i think i am still adjusting to the time. either that or i am not used to waking up at 8 am.

we also had wine with dinner last night, well i had dinner and she had wine because she said her and her friends went out and she has been drinking wine all night so she wasn't hungry. but the wine here is soo good. maybe just hers. but i know my dad would like the kind i had because it tasted very much like everything he usually picks out.
