Tonight my host parents thought I was asleep but I had to go to the bathroom to finish getting ready for bed. When I did I looked downstairs to see that they had pushed all the couches and tables out of the way in the living room, turned tango music on low volume and were dancing together! Keep in mind my host parents were both in their early 60s! It was seriously the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!
The tia that lives with the family is the most lovely woman I have ever met. She is 88 years old, completely able to get around and hold great conversations. Today I came down and she was sitting on the couch ready to get picked up by another relative with her hair done beautifully and perfectly done make up and fashionably dressed. As she left she told me to have a great day and that she would see me the next day. She referred to everyone, even me, as “querida” which is similar to “dear one” or “desired one”. It was absolutely my pleasure to get to know her for the 5 weeks I lived with the family.
