Although I have always lived by the age-old adage that there is no place like home, I realized today that home is what you make of it, regardless of physical location.
It was really hard to say goodbye. It was even worse to walk away. Yet once I over-came that initial anxiety, moving forward was the easiest thing to do.
Now, I find myself half-way across North America, and surprisingly, comfortable. I have Bobo (Bart's stuffed ram) to keep me company at night, an amazing (and private!) room, free internet access at all times, and people from across the continent sending me lovin's.
What more could anyone ask for?
In truth, I consider myself VERY fortunate to be here today. My host mother is absolutely amazing!
We share many common interests; including a love of cheese products, drinking a warm cup of tea before bed, celebrating the joy of having a loving family, the delights of gardening, and sharing recipes.
To top off the day, we shared a moment over 12 blossom tea and homemade Quesadillas de Queso de Oaxaca (the BEST cheese in the WORLD) y fresh avocado slices.
Oh, there's no place like home. :)
