Villa No. 12


Meet my host family. César, Maritza, Jessica, Stephanie, and César II. Now you know as much about them as I do. I also know that they do not have a mascot, whatever that means. If your understanding of Spanish colloquialisms is better than mine, feel free to chime in on that [Rachel. . .] .

Notice their coloring. I may not stick out like a sore thumb after all. Here's hoping.

It just keeps getting realer and realer. I may have to suck it up and actually pack soon.

  1. hello dear charlie. to help you out a smidge... "mascota" in spanish is "pet". so, if they wrote you "we have no mascot", then that's probably just an assumed cognate for pet. i'm not really a pet lady (i know...sad...), so that's a win in my book. :)

    ps: that's one good looking host family!

  2. Thanks Melissa! I'm a real pet person (remember, I live on a farm) so it'll be a change for me, but it's all just part of the experience =]
