Who are those people?




The pictures above is the family we are staying with. There is a small kitchen where we eat and socialize. Dinners are always a blast because they love to laugh mostly at how bad our spanish is when we say something inappropriate by accident. The little boys are twins and their names are Gabriel and Diego who are the sons of John and Fani (the owners of Fairplay, the Spanish school). We basicly live with their family that consists of Fani´s sisters Mimi and Ruti and their husbands/children. There are other students here from the U.S. that are in the pictures as well. John is from Belgium and there is another friend of his from Belgium who lives here to do volunteer work. Manchi and Papi are the granparents. Manchi cooks every meal for us and for everyone else too! Papi works and afterwards he feeds the rabbits and guinea pigs, farms food on the mountain behind us, and generally works very hard while laughing even harder. The room we live in was just built by Papi and finished 2 months ago. There are 2 dogs and 1 cat here also. The oldest one is Bruli and we have to walk over him whenever we leave or enter our room because he never moves from the middle of the wooden balcony. So that is our ¨family.¨ It is a motley crew of very nice and easy going people who are always smiling and helping eachother. Everyone is always greeted with a kiss on the cheek. PS. Andy, glad you like the hats (they´re called chullos) because we already bought Morgan one!!! Cheers everyone and thanks for reading our blog!! We´re thinking of you too!

From the looks of the calander on the wall they are Trekkies. Bonus!
