It has been rainy, wet, and cold for over eight days straight now!
I knew this was Xalapa's rainy season, but I didn't actually anticipate days on end of rain. Fortunately, the sun came out about ten minutes ago! Yay!! Then it disappeared again. Still, there is hope!~
The dreary rain brought on a spell of homesickness yesterday. I was home alone for the better part of the day and it really struck me that I am alone here... It was a really bad feeling. My heart hurt in a way it has never hurt before. I didn't like it. I guess I always kind of assumed I would be the exception to the culture shock rule. Fortunately, I got lots of lovin's from home via facebook, which really picked me up. Thank goodness for technology!
Plus I am not really alone here. I have Luis and Carmen. Luis is like the brother I never had, he is my home away from home. Carmen is equally amazing. Yesterday she made me the most delicious vegetarian tamales I have EVER had in my entire life! I am lucky to have them both in my life!
The cure for homesick: fresh vegetarian tamales, a cup of mint tea, and a hug. :)
With any luck, that will have been the worst of it. Espero que si!
