Me Familia. “My family.” I’m living with the best family: Cecilia, a spry, smart woman of a ‘certain age,’ her daughter, Alexandra, 36, who works in a cafeteria, her children Felipe, 17, and Semantha, 12+, along an extended family of Alexandra’s sister, Giorgiana, who lives next door with her baby, Arianna, but who spends most of her time in the ‘big house.’ There is also a very nice German medical school student, Verena, who is living in a room adjacent to mine, in the lower level of the house. The house itself is built into the side of a hill at the easternmost side of town, and from the living room there’s quite a nice view across a small valley. Alexandra sez that her father starting building the house about 28 years ago and it has been added on to like a Basilica: one ‘apartment’ at a time, as the family grew.
