Vida de la casa

As we wrap up our first week in the homestay, I want to share some photos particular to this experience.  Andrea and Lorenzo are very gracious.  Andrea works so hard around the house!  She is lucky to be able to use Mike's washer upstairs (most do all laundry by hand, often in the lake) but still hand washes the clothes Lorenzo picks aguacates (avocados) in in the morning before he teaches classes.  She also makes amazing meals which are all different, even breakfast.  Then cleans the house, shops at the market and helps Elena and Lorenzo with tarea (homework).  Lorenzo Sr. teaches and directs at the school and works some mornings in the local farms.  The kids are off to school before 7 every morning.  Busy home life here in San Pedro!

PS- Some have mentioned that these posts make them hungry.  Beware of yummy food photos below!

Delicious chicken, yams, salad and tortillas for almuerzo (lunch) which is the biggest meal of the day.
