Everything is wonderful, perfect and beautiful here! But I think I may have just had the best time since I've been here. Carmen and I both decided we weren't going to go to the Plaza for the Festiva tonight. I just want a quiet night in without the crowds and noise. When I told her that she laughed and agreed. So we opened the wine, poured each a glass and sat at the kitchen table and talked. It's a funny sight, me with my dictionario and glasses on. You can't get this kind of learning out of any book. We just talked for hours getting to know each other....siblings, parents, children, music, food, travel etc. And we did it all knowing very very little of each other's languages. I love it! She's learning English and I, Spanish.
We then ended up in her bedroom where she played me her son, Matias', music. He's a guitartist and what a musician he is. He plays rock, soul, blues and latin guitar. It's beautiful. She's going to take me to meet him before I leave. How fun will that be.
As Carmen just walked by my room I had to stop her to tell her that I adore her. And that in just a short time she truly is my amiga and forever. She just hugged me and said "Tu tambien Diana. Tu precioso". How lucky I am to have met her.
Someday I hope she can come to the States and you all can meet her. You will love her as quickly as I did.
