なんて優しいコロンビアの人たち!

日頃からコロンビア人の優しさには助けられてきたけれど、より一層その優しさに感動しちゃいました。

その1.
一緒の家に住んでいて仲良くなった Isabel が大学を卒業したので今週末、いよいよ家を出て行く事に。以前聞いた話では土曜日の朝に出発する、と聞いていたので金曜日の夜は会えるだろうと思って帰宅したところ、家がやけに静か。。

家族に聞いたら、「Kaoruを待っていたけれど、時間が来たので既に家を出てしまったの。」との答え。

「えぇ~、聞き間違えてたんだ。。今夜会えると思ってたから、前日の夜やお昼に他の予定入れちゃってたのに。最後挨拶できなかった…(涙)」
せめて電話しよう、と思って電話してもつながらず、落ち込んで部屋でぼーっとしていたところ、同じく同居人で Isabel と一番仲良しだった Alex が帰宅して私のドアをノック。

「Isabel、Kaoruに会えなくてすごく残念がってたよ。。。でも今夜はまだ近くの街にいるからもし会いたければ連絡してみよう。(金曜日の午後、家を出て少し離れた街へ移動し、土曜日の朝、実家へ出発するという事だったらしい)」と。

「ぜひ!」と頼んで連絡を取ってもらい、私が彼女のいる街まで行くのは安全上NGなので、私はAlex に連れて行ってもらい、Isabel は彼女の友達に頼んで車で市内まで出てきてもらい、会うことができました。

ホームステイ先に着いた時、あまりの同居人の多さに戸惑っていた私に対して、一番優しく気遣って話しかけてきてくれたのが彼女でした。そのありがとうの気持ちは今の語学力では全然伝えられなかったけれど、それでも数時間一緒にいられて、最後にはきちんと挨拶できて本当に嬉しかったです。

IsabelとAlex。別れ際に撮ったので、ちょっと泣き顔なIsabelが可愛い。
Isa と Alex


Alexに感謝の気持ちを伝えると、「コロンビアでは困っている友達を助けるっていうのは自然な事だから良いんだよ。IsabelとKaoruが喜んでくれて嬉しいよ。」と言ってくれてより感謝の気持ちが強くなりました。
(ちなみにこのAlexが以前日記に書いた、悲しい過去を持つ彼です)

以前3人で撮った写真。次はいつこんな写真が撮れるかな。。。

その2.
私の上司、Marlenyの家に遊びに行ってきました。
チャキチャキしていて思いやりのある彼女には職場でもプライベートでも、いつも本当にお世話になっています。

彼女の娘、Viviana がパン作り教室に通っているというので、今日はチチャロンというディニッシュのようなパンを作ってくれました♪
焼きたてのパンを食べるなんてすごく久しぶりで美味しかった~。

その他にも、フルーツサラダを作ってくれたり、お土産にはMazamorraというとうもろこしジャム(?)のようなものも持たせてくれたりして。

ラジオでサルサがかかれば、Viviana と一緒に踊って見せてくれたり、今度来た時には何をしよう、等とにかくもてなし上手なのですごく楽しい時間を過ごすことができました☆

パパイヤ、マンゴー、バナナ、洋ナシ、ココナッツ、レーズン、ヨーグルト入り。
そしてフルーツサラダの下に写っているランチョンマットは Marlenyのお母さんの手作り。その他にも手作りのテーブルクロスを見せてもらったりしたけれど、どれもすごく凝った作りでびっくり。

周囲の人は本当に良い人ばかりで、めぐまれた環境にいられる事に心から感謝です!
