I arrived in Le\u00f3n airport last Thursday and was picked up by my homestay hosts Pati and Paco. The family includes two young adult males and the youngest is a female teenager. All are very nice and the parents in particular making me feel at home. We are having lots of conversations which is the idea behind homestay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their house is above the historic city centre on the road that winds itself around the valley between the Pipila monument and La Buffa mountain. I tried to take some pictures but the camera battery is dead and I forgot to bring its charger. There are lots of pictures to be found with google of the city and surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The house is one of many that belong to Paco’s family. Downstairs is the kitchen, dining area, and two bedrooms and a bathroom for students. The family lives upstairs and I have not been there. My digs are not as nice as last time but who cares. Part of this journey is to live more simply with less but to enjoy the richness of the immersion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve been here just two days getting the know the people, reacquainting myself with the city, and shedding impediments to speaking in Spanish. So far so good. Today I’ve been invited to a family birthday party in a nearby town at which there could be around 100 people. I’m looking forward to the food! Spanish school starts on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
