my spanish familia

the family at the beach
i have a lovely spanish family here in spain. the mom, marta, speaks good english because she did her senior year of high school in the u.s. however the father doesn't speak any so its fun to practice my spanish with him. the little girls, alicia (eight years old) and marta (five years old) are so cute and already love me. they hardly want to leave my side. i spend the mornings with them and we practice some english, they know some vocabulary already from their school here and love trying to speak it.

the grandfather (the kids call him pepe) feeding their pet peacock

alicia & juan feeding it. i fed it too!

we go to the pool at their grandparent's home every day because they live just two doors down. savannah and the their two cousins meet us there because they live right next door as well.

savanah's house (left) & mine (right- kind of behind trees) they are connected.
it is nice having savannah so close. it takes me about 30 seconds to walk over to her house & into her room. their homes are so nice & we are happy to have such good families to stay with here in spain!
