My host family

Here’s a picture of my first Dominican host family.
From right to left are: Doña Sol, my host mom; Eduard, my 17-year-old host brother; Carmen, my 16-year-old host cousin, and Abuelita Licela, my 78-year-old host grandma who lives in New York most of the year but has been here visiting since November. The second picture is Eduard and Carmen relaxing in the evening. Carmen is playing a Gameboy and Eduard is listening to bachata music on the radio; which is a typical Dominican style music that comes from the campo and has gained popularity in the last several years. It’s mainly ballads about falling in love or having your heart broken.
