Endearments

My host mom calls me:
most often, "bebe," but also "bebe linda," "hija preciosa," "chiquitita linda," "reina de la casa," and "angelita."

I love this woman. She also showers me with hugs and kisses.

Before I sleep she makes the sign of the cross over me and says: "el padre el hijo y el espiritu santo." No joke. She did it this morning too, when I told her that our class is having a scavenger hunt to explore the city.
