Mi familia española

O.K., I know I just posted a new post today already, but I just have to say how much I love host family, they are so awesome! My "padre," Jacinto, is always singing randomly, like about the food he's putting on the table and such, I just love it haha. And my "madre" Isabel is so cool, she helps me with my Spanish so much, and I'm even helping her with her English! She actually speaks better than I thought (and she probably knows even more, but our host families aren't supposed to speak English to us), and it actually helps me practice vocabulary when she asks how to say something in English, because I have to remember what it does really mean! But anyway, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate my "padres," I definitely got a great family, Isabel always comes in with books and pamphlets and stuff and explains all sorts of things about exhibits an movies and all kinds of things going on in the city, and she still has me help her cook, little by little. I'm starting to take over salad duty. :) Lots of veggies, fruit, and sometimes nuts, with salt, vinegar, and of course, the holy mother of all ingredients, olive oil.
Alright so anyway, I hope everyone reading these blogs has a great night or day or whatever the time zone is where you are, and I just wanted to let everybody know how awesome my host family is! I really appreciate them, especially after our little Madrid excursion...I was VERY happy to return to good 'ol Toledo and my casa. :)
