Le soleil is shinning under my
I'm having communication problems with my family. It's nothing new at all, it's just that my family in colombia are getting mad because they haven't received a poscard from me. First of all is not my fault it's slow, snail mail is called that for a reason (except they don't know what that means because my family dosen't speak English.... correo caracol) . ALSO I've been asking for some people's addresses, but they don't friggin give it to me, they just complain!!!!
keeping in contact is hard and I'm really trying.
I was thinking: in the states I was always running around, I could have used 5 extra hours on my day. I ran on usually 5 hours of sleep. Here I have sleep and food and I'm so much more relaxed. I can think and breathe and lovelovelove. My theory is that when I go back to the states I will still be in relaxed mode while the world around is on 24/7. it'll be another culture shick. It's funny, here the store say: "open every day! monday - saturday" nobody works on Sundays. it feels like hibernation. I love it. Yesteday was sunday. and all i did is wake up. walk around town. take pictures with my poloroid. I went to the Jardin des Plantes and ate a sandwhich and some yaourt. walked downtown sat some more. watched the people do their sunday walks. when i finally got home, betsy and i made din din and sat, drank yummy yummy apple cinnamon tea; chatted and read together. MMMmmm. so relaxing! I would never ever have that much time in the states. I'm on vacation. and it was greatly needed.
I do miss home, but hell... i'll be back, I just hope everyone dosen't forget me!!!!!
I have to stop looking at pictures. 7 months to go. it's a long time, and I'm happy i get that long to absorb the Frenchy ness. I still can't believe i here!
I love everyone and i have to go buy food now. i need to eat. I feel my sickness getting stronger....
