In September, I took a MUCH needed vacation to the states to visit with friends and family for two weeks, and it was incredible! I flew into DC and stayed with my friend Jody for a few days before we (and her mom!) headed down to Elizabeth City, NC to see the fam. While in DC I had Trader Joe’s wine, a chili cheese dog at a Nationals game, some grande margs at Chevy’s and wing stop french fries. It. Was. Glorious.
Being home was so refreshing. I got to replace some moldy clothes, eat my mom’s home cooking and drink my weight in wine and microbrews. Lane took me out on our sailboat for the first time, I went out to lunch almost every day (my favorite activity!) and enjoyed netflix on demand for hours on end. Oh, and I got to spend some quality time with my mom and Shrimpy, see Grammy King and meet baby Addi for the first time!
Having to leave after two relaxing weeks was difficult, but it was significantly less brutal than it was after my first trip back to the states last Christmas, which is a testament to the fact that you can get used to anything and I had finally acustumbrar-ed to my life in El Salv.
Returning to country was somewhat bittersweet though because as I was coming back, my friend Sam was leaving for good. While I was away, he decided to Early Terminate his service out of lack of work in his site. I miss him dearly, and hate that when I want to call him to tell him a ridiculously hilarious salvo story it now costs me 15 cents, but he’s enjoying himself in the “oooosa” and happy with his decision.
Thanks for reading, October update coming soon!
PS. Since I originally wrote this blog, Sam has since started working for NBC 40 Atlantic City, NJ. HOLLER! He's a celeb already and I am SO excited to go "down the shore" to see him in action!
