Lucho Leche, Week 6

Luis Fernando has managed to become one of my favorite boys. I know that I say that about most if not all of the boys, but Lucho has maintained this title more steadily than most. This week I have watched him bond very tightly to one of the team members. I have to confess to a smidge of jealousy, but one glance of that mischievous smile chases it away. Lucho is a natural leader. He is the best mediano dancer of Vida Vida and he calls out the steps to anyone falling behind. The other day he rode in the front of the bus and talked to Richard, our driver, most of the way. Even though Richard has driven us the same routes for several weeks now, Lucho gave him directions as we drove, pointing out which traffic lights didn't work, when it was clear, where to turn, and drilling Richard on anything he did outside of his explicit directions. It was adorable.
