6 WEEKS.

In six weeks I will be back in Oregon. I will be with my family. I will be able to eat Subway and Jamba Juice. I will be able to speak English. I will be able to walk down the street without being called “Gringa.”

Sounds great, doesn’t it? I’m not so sure.

Yes, I am so so so excited to go back home, back to my country! But I will be leaving behind people that I might never see again. It’s so scary! When I said goodbye to my family last August it wasn’t really a goodbye…more like a “see you later.”Now it’s the real deal. As of now, I am still comforted by the fact that the time for those goodbyes is not here yet. I still have 5 weeks of enjoying Ecuador! Guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens on that last week.

6 WEEKS. I’M SO EXCITED!!
