Greetings from the Caribbean!
So, I got really homesick last night...so what did I do??? I went to TGI Friday's...lol!!! Oh and I never thought seeing so much flare would make me so happy, but it did. I went with some American friends and we ate generic American food, but it was nice to have a taste of home. And there are plenty of american chains here, so I will be fine. I think tomorrow I will have Taco Bell!
Anyway, other than my homesickness last night, I have been pretty comfortable here. I feel like I fit in, other than being called gringa or Americana every few days because of my accent...but other than that, I blend right in.
So a side note about the electricty....there seems to be a problem in my area with the electricty, because I loose electricty for about an hour at least 4 times a week. That has made things interesting, especially when I am in the middle of making Eggplant Paramsean when the electricty decides to leave...what fun! But, I have learned to cope. I just turn on my flash light, lights some candles, and I am good too go.
The weather has been amazing...I rarely even use my AC!!! I usually just put the fan on and open the window and it is very comfortable. I know everyone in Louisiana is sweating like pigs!!!! Sorry!!!! But, you should move to the Caribbean too!
Well, I am here in my classroom....so I better get back to work. I miss everyone!!! Talk soon!
Until next time America....
