I woke up with a terrible stomach ache that I'm blaming on all the milk I had been consuming. So, we quickly changed that. But I didn't feel like doing much, so I stayed around the house. I took the opportunity to get caught up on emails, organize my photos, and write my first blog post. I also learned how to wash my clothes here, which may not seem like a big deal, but my previous host mom would never let me do it. It was sweet that she wanted to be like my mom and do everything for me, but I felt guilty that I never helped with anything. Fanny lets me help cook (I stir pots, set the table, and occasionally make juice), wash dishes, and now, wash my own clothes. It feels nice to be able to help out and be a little more self-sufficient. She also put me to work helping clean the pool, while Marcelo mowed the yard and she watered the plants. Oh yeah, did I mention that she has a pool and hot tub? Photos below.
