Yesterday while at a library here, I fell in love with this book. It literally was love at first sight, so much so that I went to Amazon.com asap and placed my order. I´m super excited. The drawings are amazing and $·&%$·". I wish I could show this literary masterpiece to everyone!
Medellin is beautiful and the people are so vibrant. Here everyone lives in thin (but long) brick houses, most of the brick still exposed. If not, the bricks are painted green, blue, dark purple. I´ve decided that when I have a house, I´m painting it dark purple. That, or my bedroom, or something.
My family is amazing, beautiful, spectacular. It´s smaller than I thought (8 uncles/aunts, 13 including spouses and 9 cousins). I´m trying to spend as much time with them as possible while I´m here, going on walks around the city with three children that run around screaming and laughing. I´m leaving to another town today, without any idea where it is or what the hell we´re going to do there, which is what makes everything so exciting!
The food is $%$/·"&$&· crazy, they eat like 9 times a day here, jhc. I´m going to be a whale when I get back. :(
I miss Val (I KNOW YOU´RE READING THIS) but I know she´ll be right there when I get back, yes/yes? As to the other people I know who have been sad lately, smile! Life is too beautiful to watch it pass by with a frown. Michelle, save me a breakfast date for when I get back?
I had a mini episode last night where I got really lonely and sad and blah blah blah. I hope I don´t feel like that again because wtf, I´m in a beautiful country away from everything, why am I feeling choked up about the past?
As for right now, I should get going because I leave in an hour and haven´t packed a thing yet.
LJ friends: your posts lately have been beautiful and I love love love catching up with my FP and seeing letters and pictures of you guys.
Love, love, love,
Viviana :)
