Some lunches are not that difficult to forget. My lunch on Saturday was one of those days. Nervous as I was to be in the house for the first full day had my nerves all excited. On top of that, I found out that we were having a family reunion, in that Juana's (My Mom) son and daughter (with her husband and 2 kids) were coming for a visit. At this point in time, I was pretty insecure with my Spanish and I didn't know what to think.
Well, it didn't take long for a blank stare to overcome my face and pure exhaustion to drain my body from life. Due to the fact that Juana's daughter is married to an incredible man from Africa, the table not only spoke Catalan, but French was also tossed around a bit.....in addition to the English from Juana's son and sometimes Spanish translations he offered me. By the end of the meal, I was pretty exhausted and ended up passing out in my room for a good two hours.
I better pick up the language quick or I am in big trouble!
