Last weekend I spent the entire weekend with my host family. It was interesting because I had not been back since Christmas and I missed my family there a lot. I can never seem to find the time to go back or to call them as much as I want but I made time last weekend. Everyone was soo excited to see me and I was overjoyed to see them as well. I ate a lot, I mean in general when you go to a cape verdean´s house you eat a lot but I ate so much more at their house. They recently made a wood kitchen and the food is so much better when it is cooked on a wood stove (well not so much as a stove as three rocks and then wood or linha but it is perfect).
A lot of cape verdeans live abroad (actually there are more cape verdeans outside of cape verde than within) and my host-mom´s son came home from France. He has been living in France for 7 years. He showed up 2:00am on Saturday morning, and I woke up to a sound that sounded like "grita"-ing and "txora"-ing but was really a happy yelling. He is staying for quite a while but for his family I am sure it is not long enough.
I am planning on going back next month. My host family is really cool and they always help me to relax and I just feel so comfortable at the house, in their family.
