Graibin brought Eduardo around to the house yesterday. We sat on the patio for a while, going over the Canadian coins I wanted Eduardo to give to his kids. They are big on Animal Planet and National Geographic here and have seen most of the animals on our coins. Erroll pointed out that the Spanish word for Beaver is Castor, just like the star.
Eduardo expressed that the visit we had at their table was a lot of fun and that our family is welcome to go camp at his house. We've accepted with a lot of anticipation. I hope to meet more of their family and enjoy learning more of their culture.
The very cool way that we talked when Rainne, Di, the kids and I sat around Jesus' table (their Mamma) was THE highlight of my trip. There was some pretty neat energy flying around, I think because we all decided that we are on the same playing field. They, with little English and us with little Spanish. We laughed lots about how each language in the other's mouth tasted like marbles, and begged the other to speak "SLOWLY!"..."LENTO!". They also laughed at the thought of Spanglish, or as Erroll says, to be more fair Espangles.
Because there is little time left, with Erroll and Lindsay booking their surf boards for the week, and a few other things I want to put together for the garden, it will have to be booked for next week.
