Los Mellizos

There are two different sets of identical twins at La Obra. As if trying to learn names and getting to know everyone wasn’t hard enough already. However, this week I have finally figured it out.  Gonzalo and Guillermo, two brothers that are in second grade, are nearly indistinguishable from each other. They talk the same, act the same and look so much alike that they are usually not referred by name but are just called “los mellizos”, the twins.  The difference between the two is that Gonzalo has a mole on his left cheek and Guillermo doesn’t.

The other set of identical twins, Diego and Jose, are two teenage boys that come to Casa de Jóvenes.  They are much easier to tell apart because they both have their names tattooed on their forearms. That is what I call a great idea.
