Uno has been a big hit with the girls in my household here in Monte Plata. I hit the jack pot as far as my host family is concerned. Everyone in this family is over the top gracious. The three muchachas living here are the best Spanish profesoras I could possibly hope for.
Below is a photo of my host mom, Charo. Of course, I could easily be her mother. She is gorgeous and and an awesome cook. We have lots of broccoli and avocado for lunch every day, and plenty of mango for supper. She never serves sugar with my coffee, either. Host moms in Monte Plata are attuned to Peace Corps person tastes. I am so lucky.
Charo's mother died just a year ago, and this Sunday a memorial for her mother's death is being held to mark her passing last year at this time. Today I was able to meet several of her mother's sisters during our trip to Bosque, the Campo Charo was born in.
I've taken many photos of this photogenic family, as well as Community Based Training in Puerto Plata, and will be posting them soon!
