Sometime last week I wrote down a list of things that I find myself missing, and while I do not have it here with me, a lot of it is still fresh in my mind. I sent a couple postcards a while ago, and in the last few days I have gotten messages from the recipients and it has made me feel sentimental...thus the topic of this post.
-hugging my family
-Reeses Cups
-postal service
-highways
-Starbucks (let me be clear, it is not the coffee so much as the frappaccinos! because the coffee here is infinintely better)
-Bud Light
-online shopping
-being able to visit/call family
-family vacation
-cereal (specifically Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds!)
-gym
-IKEA
There are many more things, but that is all I can think of for the moment.
Not to say that I do not love where I live now! On the whole I think life here is much more satisfying, and much less materialistic, and well, much cheaper than the typical lifestyle in the USA. What people here pay for rent, fresh fruits and veggies and cell phone bills are much more economical here.
I will finish by saying that I have a pineapple waiting to be cut at home, and that I know it will taste much better than anything I could get in the USA : ))
Pura Vida!
ps. Excited to see E tomorrow!
