Hi everyone! I haven’t written in quite a while because I have actually been busy and not en casa as much! Last Friday, I finally got to meet my other host brother, Diego, his wife Raquel and their 2 little boys. They all came over for a big family lunch and we had the best time chatting and getting to know each other. Raquel is so fun and basically thinks I’m a famous singer in the U.S. (my host mom made me show everyone my myspace music since I wouldn’t sing in person). Diego was super nice as well, and after lunch he actually drove Jennifer and I to the bus station to buy our tickets to the beach for Saturday. After helping us buy our tickets, Diego gave us a little mini-tour of Sevilla and we got to see parts of the city that we hadn’t yet seen by way of bus or taxi. There are so many narrow little cobblestone streets that I can’t wait to go back and explore in my own time. After our tour, the whole family went to the swimming pool and Javi’s apartment. Jennifer and I swam around with our little “nephews” who are just so precious. They seemed to take to us very fast- probably because of our funny accents and foreign appeal! The 8 year old, Diego, actually spent the night at his grandparents Friday night just so he could hang out with us more. He tried telling us numerous jokes in Spanish but I think it was quite obvious that we just were not getting them, so we switched over to playing racecars with him instead! It’s funny to think that a little 8 year old is helping me better my Spanish. I’m so fortunate to have been placed in such a fun-loving family! They love to laugh and I love that about them! I'm excited for more family fiestas to come!
