This is my host family in Granada, Nicargua: Bosco, Karla, and Ariana. They have a hospitality house, Hospedeja Ari, and a liquor store. There are always people here; which is interesting. The first day I arrived there was a lady from Costa Rica here, and this week a family from Costa Rica arrived. I enjoy listening to their converstions, although I only catch words sometimes because they are talking fast. The fastest talker is Dominga, an employee of the household. I am always asking her to slow down. She watches out for me-warning me about which streets to avoid because there are people with "malas intentiones". Dominga is a great cook too, and has been providing me with wonderful vegetarian meals(: with veggies that I have never heard of (giso de pipián), and BTW, have you ever eaten boiled banana? LOL-I have! Karla is wonderful. We are getting ready to go walk together. I enjoyed eating dinner with her, Bosco, and her daughter. The electricity went out-a common occurence here, and so we finished by candlelight. Karla practices her English with me and I practice my Spanish with her. It's a good trade(: Her parents are Rotarians and have a dental practice downtown. They came by to meet me last night, but we were out exercising! I hope to meet them soon and do a presentation at their Rotary Club. I am very thankful to Rotary for their donations and support for my scholarship to study here.
