Por Fin

"Por fin" means "finally" in Spanish ...

I think maybe I waited to too long to post this last thing. I've only been out of Central America for ... a month and half? Maybe two? And it already seems like a long time ago!

I'm in Jordan now. I may blog about it - we'll see.

People asked me what I miss about Guatemala, so here are a few things:

I miss the friendliness of the people. Everyone I stopped to ask for directions was always very nice and willing to help.

I miss how easy it was to make someone's day. Tipping gas station attendants always got a huge smile. I also really enjoyed handing out candy to kids (which I was assured multiple times was not creepy). Towards the end of the trip I started handing out Cokes. That whole Coke and a smile thing really worked!

I'm finding that I miss Spanish too. I haven't really used it since I've been back, but I've found some ways to put it to use. Hopefully that'll help me not to lose too much.

I miss the Gilmores!

I also miss the friends I made at the school and while I was traveling around and staying in hostels. If any of you make it to the States, get ahold of me!

What else can I say? Central America is beautiful. Very glad I went. If you have a chance to go, you should definitely check it out.

I should probably write more, but I'm working through some wicked jetlag.

Thanks for reading :)
