Introducing my new family...we're a full house.




I am thankful to be living with a warm, hospitable, energetic, social & full house.  The door is always open (literally) and visitors, friends, and family come through all day.  I love it.  My family here has welcomed me with generosity and very open arms--I am grateful.  We have shared many, many good meals, conversations with many pauses, hand gestures, laughs and smiles...and many rounds of UNO.  I have yet to master the art & science of Dominos and Casino (very common card game).  Games are a great way to connect, learn new aspects of language...and lose money...if your willing to bet (.....not yet:).

Pictured above are my host parents, Moreno & Tigua.  Full of love, generosity, care....and just the right amount of joking that keeps this Canadian on his toes.
