I really can't describe the foundations of my relationships here. The way people relate is similar, yet I feel like their hearts are more open here. You could meet someone and five minutes later they want to hang out and be your best friend. I strongly encourage studying abroad. We have SO much to learn from other cultures. I'd seriously go to every country if I could.
Note to self: Don't go for a run when it's sunny and 86 degrees.
New discovery: there is most definitely a banana tree on my street. Yea obviously I had to let you know.
Random observation: At first I thought the chickens and roosters were obnoxious, but I'm finally used to them crowing at dawn and scurrying across the streets. And if you're curious, the chicken crossed the road so it could peck at trash and water in the gutter. Yea, they don't tell you that version of the joke, do they?
Honestly my words and pictures will never do this place justice (not that I attempted to in this random post). It's just unique and interesting and indescribable.
Our Bachata dance skills are improving! Watch out! We've danced to this song multiple times now in class and in the clubs.. and in the ISA guagua (bus) Aventura- Obsesion
PS I finally got a tan.
Hasta luego
