Hey everyone, just checking in. Nothing too crazy to report, my spanish is slowly coming along. Had a pretty good day today, I am finding that I definitely have my good days and bad days with it.
The funny story is this, so we are all living with families down here and my one friend lives with a very interesting group that has a drunken, crazy, break dancing grandma. Apparently she is full of rude remarks that the family has just told him to ignore. Anyway the other day he bought a bunch of cookies (and a sprite) for his family and after dinner that night they all enjoyed them. Well the next evening he asked his family for a cookie and they were already all gone. No one in the family knew what had happened to them or the sprite. Finally the father went and asked the grandma what had happened to the cookies and after alot of pleading she finally told them what she did. Apparently in the middle of the night she grabbed the bag of cookies, sprite and a shovel and headed to the local cemetery. Once she reached the gravesite of one of her friends she proceeded to dig a hole about a foot deep, then she dumped all the cookies in along with the sprite as a refresher. The reason she did all this was because she said one her friends talked to her in a dream and said the were hungry....
Just to give you an idea of some of the interesting people down here....

That will teach you to share your cookies (or not!)
Funny..I would stay clear of that grandma as who knows when her "friends" will tell her to go after your friend with the shovel!
I know that the language bit is tiring, but it sounds like you are doing great!
Hilarious. You should ask her to have a drink with you some time. -Emily.
Sounds like Grandma E...or should I say Grandma Fabulous! Bet you wish you were that in tune with the afterworld:)
