My home-stays are now over with which leaves me wanting to be back at that temporary home, while I also take a sigh of relief. My family was lovely, I couldn’t ask for a better family. My host sister, Alex, was really chill. At the same time, very shy. I wish I had gotten to know her better. She loves Fall Out Boy. That is something we have in common, although she is far more interested in them than me. Her room was very much like mine, which helped me feel right at home as soon as I walked in. Antonio, my host brother is a very chill dude. Really nice as well. He’s also known as Tonito. Bety, my host mom was a very sweet woman who knew how to prepare very filling meals. She has quite the humor as well. Last but not least, Antonio, my host dad. He is a very intelligant man, with lots of duties, therefor I didn’t see him as much as I may have wanted too. But that’s ok, because what he is doing is helping out the community that he loves very much, that I too have grown to love like my own.
Was this a big culture change for me to stay with this family for three consecutive nights? Not really. I eat mexican food at my house a good bit of the time, and their house is not much different from others I have seen in
Was the language a barrier to get to know my family? Nope, every single member of the family spoke fluient english. It was nice, but then again it would have been cool to be challenged by a only spanish speaking family.
It’s nice to be back in the pallapas and to be around my other friends again. It’s fun to swap stories with my fellow peers, and to laugh about each other’s awkward stories.
