Carlos!

Carlos is the son of the family I'm staying with here in Bogotá, and he's super friendly. He's a graphic designer like Mangue but he works on documentaries for the family business. Although his English grammer isn't as stellar as his girlfriend Olga's, he's fluent, which makes things easier for me. He studied in New York, which is how he met both Olga and his wife, an American college student who filed for marriage with him so he could gain citizenship. I think we're going to play Spanish Scrabble---a nontraditional vocab learning technique---and Carlos is going to pwn. According to Nicolás his vocabulary is gigantic, not that it'll be necessary to whip out any five dollar words to beat me.

Great to talk with you on phone- and Rocio says your Spanish is getting pretty good!
