Mamaita

Last week I moved into a new house, Mamaita (they name their houses here). It's fantastic. I live with my mom Coro and her 19 year old grandson Andrés who are both super sweet. She lives next door to her sister Dulce, who is a wrinkly ex-chain smoking woman who wears her nighty around all day and cracks jokes. There is family in and out of the house all day every day, so it's really hard to keep track of who is related to whom. It's great to have so much commotion, though, and so many people to talk to when I come home from classes. I love how relaxed everything is around there, and that they make no effort to act differently because there are students staying in the house. Also, the food is delicious. Jony, our housekeeper and cook, makes the most amazing lunch for us everyday.
