Encarnita

I love my senora! I learn so much from her. She was just telling me about how people in Segovia are different from most other people. She said if you have a friend from Segovia, you have that friend for life. She said people from Segovia have good work ethics too. We were talking about how we both don't need much in order to be happy. She told me that the little things make her truly happy, like sleeping on sheets that she has just washed or smelling her skin after taking a shower. She said the best things in life are free--there's no better drink than water, there's no better taste than fruit, there's nothing as beautiful as they sky and it changes different colors every night. Then she went out on her balcony and picked a leaf off of one of her plants. She told me to rub the plant with my fingers and smell it. I can't figure out what it smells like, but it smells so clean and fresh. She said there is no better smell than that. I'm really glad I was put here to live with her. She's the sweetest lady ever! She's teaching me how to cook some more things tomorrow so I will probably write all about the food we've been eating then :)
