Lots of things are happening here
at Canelejas. And we aren’t quite sure we like any of them.
Last week was a pretty sad week
for the Cinco de Canelejas. We had to say our first goodbyes. Jorge the
Austrian just randomly informed us that it was time for him to return home to
the land of yodelers and The Sound of Music. His exit was…uneventful. A quick
goodbye while we were eating dinner followed by a photo op (see picture below)
and just like that he left in the middle of the night (literally).

| Thanks Jorge for this great (terrible) self-timer shot. |
Things we will miss about Jorge:
- The fact that he dominates conversation at dinner.
- The always unbuttoned button downs.
- Interesting stories about his “Latino Ladies”
- Sound travel advice. Shout out to him for planning our trip to Lisbon.
- . His Narpy personality and endless quirks. Really we will just miss him overall.
Jorge, you were great. Looking
forward to keeping up over email (and google+)…
Unfortunately when Jorge left
trouble in paradise arrived. Our resident love birds, Flori and Alberto (house
dad/boyfriend), have hit a rough patch. Gone are the days of pleasant dinners
and a giggling Flori. They have been replaced by silence and standoffs. We are
walking on eggshells here in apartment 2A.
Plus side: no one eats at meals
with us, so we get to enjoy our food with plenty of English conversation.
Today at lunch, while we munched
on what we are sure are McDonald’s chicken nuggets (another story for another
day), Flori sat in her room alone and Alberto angrily ate some watermelon.
Here’s to hoping for
reconciliation between Flori and Alberto (#TeamFlori) and the
return of peace for us.
Praying for sunny days.
Hailey & SK
