de mi casa

Hola! Tengo una familia:)

They live in a little residential part of Spain right next to Toledo called Poligono, which is about a 20 or 30 minute ride into the city. They are the Perez's and have three kids- Ana is 20, Alvero is 15 and Laura is 13. The mother is Petri and the father is Angel. They have a dog and two birds, one which is a parrot, loro, and will call to the dog in Spanish. I felt really bad when I first got here and saw Laura moving stacks of notebooks and sweaters out of the room that was to be mine. I think I took her room. Another giveaway is the number of High School Musical posters up on the wall. She is really sweet and has been helping me with my Spanish a lot, as have all of the family members. Her eyes lit up when I took out this little joyero and started taking out earrings and necklaces. So I gave here this little bracelet and she was so thrilled.

Last night we went to our first discotheque. It was everything I thought it would be. Lots of techno, lots of smoke, lots of creepers. Definitely lots of fun though. Before that we were at this Irish bar called O'Brien's hoping to catch a bit of the game. Yea right. When there is a futból game on, nothing else in the world matters.

Katie,
Good update but I would omit any references to drinks. Remember that what's online stays online for a long time.
Here are the e-mail addresses:
Gammy is gata1227@aol.com
Aunt Lisa: sanflan@aol.com
Ashley: asmith@carolinalegal.com

Will forward Aunt Cissy's shortly. Can't find the most current one.
We love you and miss you.
Dad.
p.s. ND won but looked ugly . 4 turnovers, two within the five yard line.
