Holiday gift guide: host siblings


A toy car, for your host brother who's determined that he needs one, and with his elaborate schemes and youngest child smile will probably get one.

A small coin bag, for your sweet host cousin who graciously corrects your spanish papers and dances with you in the kitchen.

A quirky fox ring, for your host sister who can make the whole family laugh till they cry, draws a perfecct reproduction of the placio real, and complements you daily on the improvement of your spanish skills while you yourself may never be convinced.

Our dance class is over and I am a bit sad. It was a lovely time and while I may have never successfully mastered the "hips" I had a blast trying.

The magic slide

My dad sent me this book a few weeks ago and I must say it was a brilliant gift. It was not big, nor flashy, but a simple reminder of memories. A ticket back to story times with my parents when my sister and I were still too small to reach the kitchen sink.

ROMA




We really had only one plan for this trip, which was to eat, and I think we accomplished it quite successfully.
