Hola,
So I have arrived back in the arms of my host family safe and sound. It´s quite strange to be back but I´m really glad I am. It was my commitment to be here this summer and I´m really proud of myself for being able to recognize that and come back. It isnt without its struggles though. In Canada I was surrounded by family members who felt the same pain I was and here its really as though I´m carrying this alone. I have to really focus on channeling my energy into being strong for my kids come tomorrow and continuing on my positive experience from where I left off on May 27 when I came back home. It was so great to see my host family again, I genuinely missed them so much. I am realizing how hard it is going to be to say goodbye to them for good. Very strange to think about that too. Yesterday my host mom, Lupe, took the family to El Tisey for a beautiful luncheon in the mountains. Cool and breezy, the typical Nicaraguan stew we all had for lunch tasted extra spectacular. They are so impressed at my keener attitude towards eating whatever they do. I´ve never had a real problem being choosy with food and my host mom thinks this is just the greatest. Ella tiene una amiga quin come los frijoles y los huevos con en la mañana por que los autres (Samaria) no gusta frijoles por desayunar. (English: She has someone to eat beans and eggs with for breakfast as Samaria and the others hate eating beans in the mornings.)
I start back at FUNARTE tomorrow and I can´t wait.
Stay Tuned.
love,
S
