A quick post for the morning! :)
Okay so obviously I was not expecting to completely blend into this village as a Spainard but I thought I was doing a pretty good job at it...Until this morning. Yesterday when I was walking in the village I was able to communicate what I needed in Spanish and everyone tends to talk to me first in Spanish. (Also, it's not like I walk around with a fanny pack and an old navy 2011 fourth of July shirt on). Needless to say I felt like I was doing a pretty good job at keeping my "cover". And then this morning I was walking the children to their school where they are attending an English camp and when we arrived at the school there were the English teachers(Spaniards teaching English) and lots of other children around. Even though I have never met any of the teachers they ALL said "hello", "how are you?" and a couple of them said "see you later". I guess they had heard there was an American coming to stay with Marco and Paula? Anyways, this may not make much sense to you but I thought it was pretty funny that they all spoke to me in English... Maybe they are practicing? Who knows. It is funny to think that I am pretty much the token American here in the village. Anyways... I hope you all are having a wonderful morning back in America! Rise and Shine! :)
~Eime (this is how Paula spelled my name today...? haha)
