Yesterday afternoon Hao´s family picked me up. This means they walked over and said come on we are going to the supermercado. This family has nine children but most are grown. It happened to be a teacher work day so she had three of them with her-Gabriela, Estafan, and Andres plus we had Ha Lien and Hoang Linh. We were a large group walking around town.
Our first stop was ice cream. This place had little rides for the kids so they loved it. I had crema chip which was like a vanilla and penaut butter combo. I originally got chocolate but it had almonds in it so Hao took that.
Next stop was the grocery store. We had two buggies and two strollers in the tiny aisles. It was quite a site. Estafan kept adding goodies to the cart. He´s seven and wild!
After that we went to the fruit market to get those spikey fruits that are clear in the middle. Quite tasty!
Then it was back to their house. I now know how to walk over. It is about 10 blocks or more so it is not as close as I´d like but still walkable.
At the house is where Gabriela who is 11 began teaching me Spanish. She was a great teacher. I also taught her English. We did this for 2 hours! My brain was tired. Then Fabiola came over with a game. It was a game where you race to find pictures. It was good for me to listen to all the directions in Spanish.
The dad of the family came home along with 4 other kids. The dad is a reflexologist. Ha Lien had a stomach ache and got a massage! We had dinner. They are vegetarian so my family´s food is much better. Oh I forgot to mention the mom of my family is cousins with this family. We had quesadillas filled with black beans and cheese. Then there was salad.
After that I was picked up by my family where I talked a little Spanish, showered, and went to bed.
Now I am off to four hours of Spanish and then we are trying to get to Samara, the beach. However, I am having great difficulties with the interbus website. I guess I´ll have Hao call.
