Rafaela

I miss Rafaela already. I miss the corrections she made on my Spanish grammar, the animated noises she made in place of vocabulary, her dinners, her racist jokes, her lessons on slaughtering, and even the bedroom we slept in for 6 weeks (although not too much, for the next ten days I will be spoiled with air conditioning.)

At nearly 73 years old Rafaela is quick, motivated and feisty. And I love it.

It's only been ten hours since I left her humble abode and I miss her already. To quote Rafaela in a few words, "Que Pena."
