Our homestay family was absolutely perfect. They were the nicest people in the world, we wanted for nothing, because they supplied everything. They became part of our extended family. I will never be able to say or show how much we really appreciated them. Anyone lucky enough to be able to stay with them will only be 150% satisfied. I thank you for giving us such a wonderful family.

Martha and Francisco were delightful hosts. Martha has a great sense of humor and was lots of fun to talk and joke with. She always was on the lookout to satisfy our desires. For example, one day I asked her where I could buy soy milk, and the next day I found that she had bought it herself. Martha and Francisco included us in their party for Francisco\'s birthday. It was great to meet their family and be part of a Mexican fiesta. Martha knew that I enjoyed learning about Mexican cooking, and when I commented one day that eggplant would be good in a dish she had cooked, she asked me to teach her to cook a dish with eggplant. She shopped for the ingredients and then we made cena together one evening. That was a lot of fun. Francisco was always ready to sit with us for a while and speak Spanish. Their house and garden are very beautiful and peaceful

Nice simple home. They did not speak a word of English- so I was forced to speak and communicate in any form possible. They were very nice. They went out of their way to help me though, for example when I was packing. They went and got a box for me that I needed.

We feel so very fortunate to have lucked into being housed at the Institute. Everything was so convenient, and we were made to feel we were very welcome and almost a part of the family.

This was the best homestay I\'ve ever had. Graciela is a wonderful person and her home is marvelous. She was very helpful and kind. She is an excellent cook. She made me feel very welcome. If I ever return, I will schedule my time around when I could return to her home. I really believe that being in Graciela\'s home made an enormous difference in the whole experience. This was my 4th homestay in Mexico.

The home was perfect for us. Lupita is a marvel, cooking breakfast to order at 7:30 am, putting out a beautiful, interesting and different comida everyday. The other members of the family also participateed and helped make our stay fun, interesting and educational.
