The feeling is bittersweet. I love, love, love it here, but I am throughly frustrated sometimes with machismo, the slow system, and the rain. At the same time I will desperately miss visiting the pulperia, the green, the smell of cilantro and the view of the mountains and the heavy hotness of the sun on my shoulders when I walk down Paseo de las Turistas in Puntarenas.
However, I am really anxious to see my Mom. There is just nothing that substitutes my Mom's hugs, and I am feeling more and more excited to see my family.
Even more exciting is the hope that E will be able to come and spend quality time with more of my family...even after almost 2 years I am still meeting his large extended family. He has yet to meet anyone on my Dad's side, and this year may be that opportunity. Not to mention that I will definately be going on Williams family vacation for the first time in almost 5 years! I wonder if some of the younger cousins will remember me? I last saw them when they were 4 and 5 years old. What a change.
Soon, soon. I admit that I am excited to go back to the USA this time around, and especially excited to see my familia.
PURA VIDA
