mi madre nueva

so i finally met my host mom! i was scheduled to move in with a family on sunday, but due to a few unforeseen circumstances it got put off until yesterday afternoon. she's a sweet woman who lives just around the corner from the language school. my room is enormous, my bed is really comfortable and i had a hot shower this morning...so as far as homestays go - excellent. she said she was pleasantly surprised that i already speak spanish and we chatted at length this morning. seems like she's a loner - no kids, no husband, parents are dead, doesn't get along well with her siblings that live in town. hasn't mentioned friends. she has a shop in her home and so works from home...i hope i can offer some good companionship for a few weeks in return for her open door and good food.
