Adios Familia Sanchez

04 June 2011 | San Salvador
Today we said Adios to our host family in Antigua. Living with the family Sanchez was very special for many reasons. It was certainly helpful that both Karla and Jose are teachers and never tired of correcting our grammar and pronunciation.
But living with the family and participating in meals and family activities including Jose Carlos's birthday was very special. These people are very kind, generous, talented and intelligent. They live in a small colonial city in the center of Guatemala, but they know alot about countries all over the world. Their three children are being educated in languages and plan careers as lawyers and doctors, and the nine year old girl Tiffany wants to be a singer! These people are loving, and happy and living a wonderful life. It was a priviledge to spend time with them and make friends that we plan to stay in touch with.
