Nelzo (who I thought was Nigel). He cried every time I went out of the room! He and his brother Oliver have the most contagious smiles!
This is Oliver, Nelzo's brother! Their dad came yesterday to play with them and both were horribly sad when he left!
After work we came home and had our lunch, rice and beans, and beets. The food is absolutely amazing! Dona Eva is an absolutely amazing cook. My throat is hurting a little, and she made me a concentrated drink of honey and fresh lemon. I thought that honey and lemon in tea was good, but the concentrated drink was a million times better!
After lunch I had my first spanish lesson. It reminded me that I really know nothing! It's extremely humbling. We took the bus, which is more of a big van, downtown, had our lesson and then walked around the central park. I saw the a highly recommended cafe today, but Hannah (a girl who came my week but is staying 8 weeks) took a taxi back to our house to go to the gym. It was a much needed release of energy.
It's been another long day, and I'm ready for a shower and bed...and it's not even 8pm here!

Thanks for the updates, Bethany. I called Ryan today to thank him for the card (... I'm guessing that was mostly your responsibility though) and then he reminded me to check your blog.
